Dr. Benito M. Vergara, Jr. will speak on his book, Pinoy Capital: The Filipino Nation in Daly City. According to this information, Daly City, California is dubbed "the Pinoy Capital of the United States" being home to 33,000 Filipino Americans. I thought it is the City of Carson in Southern California.
Anyway, Dr. Vergara's talk will examine the complex and ambivalent feelings immigrants possess, and the conflict of belonging to a thriving American community, yet possessing nostalgia for the Philippine homeland and people they left behind. Dr. Vergara is also the author of Displaying Filipinos: Photography and Colonialism in Early 20th- Century Philippines. He received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from Cornell University.
