Angeles Monrayo (19122000) began her diary on January 10, 1924, a few months before she and her father and older brother moved from a sugar plantation in Waipahu to Pablo Manlapits strike camp in Honolulu. Here for the first time is a young Filipino girls view of life in Hawaii and central California in the first decades of the twentieth centurya significant and often turbulent period for immigrant and migrant labor in both settings. Angeles vivid, simple language takes us into the heart of an early Filipino family as its members come to terms with poverty and racism and struggle to build new lives in a new world. But even as Angeles recounts the hardships of immigrant life, her diary of 'everyday things' never lets us forget that she and the people around her went to school and church, enjoyed music and dancing, told jokes, went to the movies, and fell in love.Essays by Jonathan Okamura and Dawn Mabalon enlarge on Angeles account of early workingclass Filipinos and situate her experience in the larger history of Filipino migration to the United States.
