Choi, 120 - Hybrid EventPresented by the This talk examines the history of Filipino migration in Canada and its entanglement with empire, colonialism, racism, and immigration policy logics behind Canada’s rise as an industrialized “ethnocratic settler state.” Tracing the historical roots of Filipinos’ over-representation in frontline services and manufacturing work, considered essential to the survival health and flourishing of Canadians, it connects the respective histories and political economies of the Philippines and Canada to explain the temporary and permanent migration logics shaping the history of Filipino migration to North America, amidst the rise of Canadian and American exceptionalisms and the racialization of Filipinos. It explains the policies and institutions shaping Filipino immigrant lives in Canada, how they entered the country, where they reside and work, and how labour and immigration policies shape their lived experiences.
