Through a nuanced analysis, the author reveals the intricate relationships between diasporic subjects, charity, and power dynamics. By centering the practice of "giving back" as a key feature of Filipino American communities, Mariano offers a fresh perspective on the intersections of identity, economy, and social justice.
