Evelina Galang's stories center on the experiences of Filipina women and families and interweave Filipino folklore and Tagalog, quietly but insistently challenging racialized capitalism and the exclusion of the Filipino American experience from racial discourse in the U.S. while also making clear the role of ancestry and ancestors on younger generations"-- Provided by publisher.
