Rezensionen
Leonora Angeles, Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice and the School of Community and Regional Planning, University of British Columbia:
There has been surprisingly little research about Filipinas’ lived experience in the Canadian Prairies – even though Winnipeg has the highest concentration of Filipinos as percentage of the entire visible-minority population, and Calgary and Edmonton are among the top cities hosting new Filipino immigrants. Pinay on the Prairies provides a nuanced understanding of Filipinas’ ways of belonging within their newly adopted cities, including their forms of civic engagement as immigrant women, mothers, workers, and citizens.

Philip Kelly, author of Landscapes of Globalization: Human Geographies of Economic Change in the Philippines:
Pinay on the Prairies develops a rounded portrayal of Filipina experiences in Canada, emphasizing the agency and strength of character of these women. Bonifacio integrates literature on Philippine political economy, culture, and migration, as well as immigrant settlement and transnationalism. It is relatively rare that writers have this level of awareness of the migration process at "both ends."
