Abstract
Drawing from in-depth interviews of more than 100 Filipino Americans in San Diego, California, this article analyzes the migrations and changing family relations of Filipino Navy stewards and Filipina health care professionals. The first section details the racialized and gendered experiences of Filipino Navy stewards, paying particular attention to the men's efforts to reclaim their masculinity in both the private and public spheres. Focusing on Filipina health professionals, the second half of the paper explores how marriage and family relations are reconstituted in the United States when it was the wives who pioneered migration.Keywords
