The Day the Dancers Stayed: Performing in the Filipino/American Diaspora

by Theodore S. Gonzalves

Pilipino cultural nights at American campuses have been a rite of passage for youth culture and a source of local community pride since the 1980s. Through performances and parodies of them, these celebrations of national identity through music, dance and theatrical narratives reemphasize what it means to be Filipino American.

Informative but definitely not a light read.
