They have been able to transform fundamental social institutions and well-entrenched traditional norms, as well as alter the business, economic, and cultural landscapes of both the homeland and the host countries to which they have migrated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoces tells the story of the Filipino migration experience from the perspective of the migrants themselves, drawing on underused primary sources from the \"migrant archives\" and more than seventy interviews.
