UniPro Book Club
We are the Invisible Minority, the product of colonization, corruption, and the resulting Philippine diaspora, struggling for freedom and success in America. And yet, creative voices persist, sharing the stories of our unique history, identity, and culture, and immortalizing the Pilipino American experience.
Celebrate the prominent storytellers of our community with the UniPro Book Club! The Book Club collectively selects a written work by Pilipino or Pilipino American authors to read and discuss as a group. If available, the author also joins the discussion. Please contact iris.zalun@unipronow.org for more information.
Here is our Pilipino and Pilipino American reading list. Notice that something is missing? Let us know!
