J. R. David shares his struggles, insecurities, and anxieties as a Filipino American immigrant man, husband, and father living in the lands dominated by his family\u2019s colonizer. The result is <em>We Have Not Stopped Trembling Yet,<\/em> a deeply personal and heartfelt exploration of the intersections and widespread social, psychological, and health implications of colonialism, immigration, racism, sexism, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Transgenerational_trauma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intergenerational trauma<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Internalized_oppression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">internalized oppression<\/a>. Weaving together his lived realities, his family\u2019s experiences, and empirical data, David reflects on a difficult journey, touching upon the importance of developing critical and painful consciousness, as well as the need for connectedness, strength, freedom, and love, in our personal and collective efforts to heal from the injuries of historical and contemporary oppression. The persecution of two marginalized communities is brought to the forefront in this book. Their histories underscore and reveal how historical and contemporary oppression has very real and tangible impacts on Peoples across time and generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A father\u2019s personal and intimate account of his Filipino and Alaska Native family\u2019s experiences, and his search for how to help his children overcome the effects of historical and contemporary oppression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,11,459,125,8,17,3015,23674,20],"tags":[5704,23760,1527,243],"class_list":["post-55370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-books","category-history","category-identitydevelopment","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-native-americans","category-social-justice","category-usa","tag-alaska","tag-e-j-r-david","tag-state-university-of-new-york-press","tag-suny-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55370"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55373,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55370\/revisions\/55373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
