Abstract "This book approaches discursive and affective formations of the Midwest from the vantage of queer, diasporic, and decolonial Filipinxness to foreground the imperial foundations of America's heartland and thus U.S. national and cultural identities and to reconfigure the texture of the U.S. Filipinx diaspora"-- Provided by publisher.
