> About the Book
> Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian American/ Pacific  
> Islander population in the United States and they are projected to  
> become the largest Asian American population by 2010. With 1.37  
> million Filipino-born immigrants living in the US, Filipino  
> Americans are the second largest immigrant population in the country.
> As descendants of the Philippines, a country that was colonized by  
> Spain for over three centuries and by the US for nearly 50 years,  
> Filipino Americans are an ethnic group with a sociocultural and  
> historical experience that is unlike any other. First, they are the  
> only ethnic group that has been categorized as Asian American,  
> Pacific Islander, and Hispanic. However, California state laws  
> require that all personnel surveys or statistical tabulations  
> classify persons of Filipino ancestry as "Filipino" rather than part  
> of any other racial or ethnic group. Additionally, Filipino  
> Americans have often been referred to as the "Forgotten Asian  
> Americans," because their presence has been invisible in psychology,  
> education, humanities, and other social sciences.
>
> Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and  
> Clinical Practice offers a comprehensive look at the psyche of  
> Filipino Americans. By examining history, cultural values,  
> influences of colonialism, community dynamics, and intersections  
> with other identities, the reader will have an opportunity to  
> understand essential information about this population. Students  
> will gain knowledge and awareness about Filipino American identity  
> and personality development, while practitioners will learn  
> culturally-competent techniques to become better counselors,  
> clinicians, and educators. This book is the first of its kind and  
> aims to promote visibility of this invisible group, so that 2.4  
> million Filipino Americans will have their voices heard.
