I am ashamed to say I knew very little about Filipino history until now. The narrative of the Filipino immigrant before this time is something I haven’t even though of. The connection between them and the fact that the titles are so similar made me begin with Bulosan’s book which obviously came first.Īmerica is in the heart is a semi-biographical novel about Bulosan’s experience as a Filipino immigrant in America in the 30’s up until the Second World War when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor which led to Filipinos given the right to join the armed forces of the United States. Then I saw that she had written the foreword for Carlos Bulosan’s America is in the heart. ![]() ![]() I was googling my way through contemporary Philippine literature and what the “must reads” are and amongst others I found Elaine Castillos America is not the heart. ![]()
