| Summary: | Settling St. Malo is a story of 19th and early 20th century Filipino communities in Louisiana told through documentary poetry. Through informative, descriptive and lyrical verse the collection describes the Filipino communities of St. Malo, Barataria Bay and New Orleans. Excerpts from oral histories, diaries and letters enter poems to provide a community perspective and counter the bias in newspaper stories and government records that account for much of what is reported about early Filipino settlements. |
