Auteur :
TYNER, J.A.

Description :
Using Friedman's concept of a geographics of identity, the paper provides insight into the day-to-day activities of two Filipinas as they adjust to living in rural northeast Ohio. Difficulties may accrue at a multitude of social scales, including tensions and contestations not only between Filipinas and non-Filipinas, but also among the Filipinas themselves. The constant becoming of identity is highlighted through their experiences.
