| Introduction | I am very proud of my Filipino American ethnic heritage and Asian American racial heritage and my African origins. And most of all I recognize that my social and political roots are Black. I see myself as a polycultural person: i.e., one whose different cultural personae coexists in one person. A dude who on the one hand relishes his need and desire to learn Tagalog and Ilokano while at the same time expressing my attraction for Black culture and Black women - especially my wife - on the Internet and other communication venues such as my Black-Asian unity column and my book writings such as "BlAsian Exchanges, a Novel" and my upcoming nonfiction work, "Black-Asian connections" not to mention my novel sequel, "Verbs of an Ilokano, a novel." This is my world! And narrating it is why I decided to write BlAsian Exchanges. |
