Though the Filipino American population has increased numerically in many areas of theUnited States, especially since the influx of professional immigrants in the wake of the 1965Immigration Act, their impact on schools and related educational institutions has rarely beendocumented and examined. The Other Students: Filipino Americans, Education, and Power isthe first book of its kind to focus specifically on Filipino Americans in education. Through acollection of historical and contemporary perspectives, we fill a profound gap in thescholarship as we analyze the emerging presence of Filipino Americans both as subjects andobjects of study in education research and practice. We highlight the argument that onecannot adequately and appropriately understand the complex histories, cultures, andcontemporary conditions faced by Filipino Americans in education unless one grapples withthe specificities of their colonial pasts and presents, their unique migration and immigration patterns, their differing racialization andprocesses of identity formations, the connections between diaspora and community belonging, and the various perspectives offered byethnic group-centered analysis to multicultural projects. The historical, methodological, and theoretical approaches in this anthologywill be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students in disciplines which include Education, Ethnic Studies, Asian American andPacific Islander Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Political Science, Urban Studies, Public Policy, and Public Health.
