The Hybrid Tsinoys

“The book is a valuable addition to the studies on the Chinese Filipinos. The wealth of information gathered from ethnographic research should broaden our perspectives and understanding of the Tsinoy and how they evolved from the generation of sojourners to the present generation Chinese Filipinos rooted in Philippine soil, grounded in Philippine society, yet proud of their racial and cultural origins. Most importantly, it enlightens readers on the processes and social negotiations that result into a unique culture, blending the Filipino and the Chinese.”
