"A lively ethnography that brilliantly reveals how Filipino gay immigrants manipulate symbols and meanings in order to survive and even flourish within the racial, ethnic, class, and gendered spaces of America and a globalizing world. "Global Divas" is a must-read for all those interested in the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and immigration status."--Yen Le Espiritu, author of "Home Bound: Filipino American Lives across Cultures, Communities, and Countries"
