      abstract = {Part of the American Literatures Initiative Series Beyond  the Nation charts an expansive history of Filipino  literature in the U.S., forged within the dual contexts of  imperialism and migration, from the early twentieth century  into the twenty-first. Martin Joseph Ponce theorizes and  enacts a queer diasporic reading practice that attends to  the complex crossings of race and nation with gender and  sexuality. Tracing the conditions of possibility of  Anglophone Filipino literature to U.S. colonialism in the  Philippines in the early twentieth century, the book  examines how a host of writers from across the century both  imagine and address the Philippines and the United States,  inventing a variety of artistic lineages and social  formations in the process. Beyond the Nation considers a  broad array of issues, from early Philippine nationalism,  queer modernism, and transnational radicalism, to  music-influenced and cross-cultural poetics, gay male  engagements with martial law and popular culture,  second-generational dynamics, and the relation between  reading and revolution. Ponce elucidates not only the  internal differences that mark this literary tradition but  also the wealth of expressive practices that exceed the  terms of colonial complicity, defiant nationalism, or  conciliatory assimilation. Moving beyond the nation as both  the primary analytical framework and locus of belonging,  Ponce proposes that diasporic Filipino literature has much  to teach us about alternative ways of imagining erotic  relationships and political communities.},
