Filipino Culture Preserved in Vintage Images
Posted on | July 31, 2010 |
Local authors Tyrone Lim and Dolly Pangan-Specht and Arcadia Publishing present Filipinos in the Willamette Valley, the newest addition to the popular Images of America Series. Boasting over 200 vintage images, Filipinos in the Willamette Valley showcases the arrival of the early Filipinos in the Willamette Valley and chronicles the progression of their culture in the area.
The beginning of the 20th century saw the entrance of Filipinos into the valley, arriving from vegetable farms in California and Washington, fish canneries in Alaska, and from the pineapple and sugar plantations in Hawaii. At the same time, the I.S. territorial government in the Philippines started sponsoring Filipino students, beginning in 1903, to study in the United States.
Oregon’s two biggest centers of education, today’s University of Oregon in Eugene and Oregon State University in Corvallis, became home to Filipinos from the emerging independent Philippine nation. They were mostly male, the children of wealthy Filipinos who had connections. Most of them returned to the Philippines upon graduation; some stayed and created a new life in America.
Highlights of Filipinos in the Willamette Valley:
• Features more than 200 vintage images from both public archives and private collections
• Showcase many community events that have brought the Filipino population together across the years
Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or
