	Filipino American Literature
		he study of Filipino American literature offers a place for the frames of postcolonial discourse and the literary efforts of the "hypenated" or "ethnic" American to converge-- an intersection which challenges the putative need to separate these endeavors on the basis of the United States's seemingly shaky status as a colonial power.
		It is important to note that American-born-Filipinos are referred to as "Flips." At present, the Filipino American population is the fastest growing Asian American group in the United States, and statistics illustrate that this community will surpass the numbers of Japanese and Chinese Americans combined in the next decade.
		What makes Filipino American literary efforts different, even from South Asian American writers, is the combination of the length of the total colonial experience, the involvement of the United States, and the varying degrees of willingness to assimilate into the American cultural landscape.

		Filipino Americans who “age in place” and have had extensive acculturation experiences may be more apt to initiate screening appointments that fit their priorities and commitments.

	Introduction: have come, are here: reading Filipino/a American literature MELUS - Find Articles
		In recent decades, Filipino/a American writers have become increasingly conscious of the gap between critical expectations and definitions inherited from culturally dominant societies and the literature which strives to develop ethnic and cultural identities.

		The Philippines' ambivalent relationship with the United States necessarily nuances the representation of and by Filipino/as and Filipino/a Americans in literature, as Luis Francia signals when he asserts that "wherever we are born and wherever we choose to live, America can never be a neutral subject for Filipinos" (7).
