Geschichten und Deutungen der Herkunft und der Identität von migrantisch gefärbtem Leben.

“As an Austro-Filipina of my generation, I carry both cultures with me. Depending on the situation and circumstances, different parts are seen or highlighted. Although both are two differing, almost opposing cultures, I gladly experience them more and more as a whole thing in itself. You cannot interact with one part without moving the others at the same time. Experiencing this wholeness is what I value the most, because it dissolves the question of being either/or.”
(Cat Jimenez, artistic director, cultural researcher, movement enthusiast)

“Ich war eine Zeit lang auf den Philippinen, habe die Erfahrung gemacht, wie es ist, dort zu sein, wo alles begonnen hat. Back to the roots. Es war eine Identitätssuche.”
(Vincent Bueno, R&B/Pop singer, songwriter, producer and performer)

“Ich habe mit den beiden Kulturen in mir zu kämpfen gehabt. Es gibt Eigenschaften, die auf den Philippinen gutgeheißen werden, in Österreich nicht. Aber ich bin eben so.”
(Cynthia „Cindy“ Kurleto, Model, Schauspielerin)

“This book is doing a great service to both the Filipino community and (as a part of) Austrian and German society: that of raising awareness for the values of the diversity of culture, mentality, and social origin for the communalization of individual life’s destinies and life endeavors, as they are demanded of all of us.”
(Thomas A. Bauer, Professor emeritus, University of Vienna)
