Description

Filipino seamen currently comprise approximately twenty percent of the 1.2 million international maritime transportation workers. Ninety percent of the world's goods and commodities are transported by ship. Taken together, these statistics attest to the critical role Filipino seamen play in worldwide maritime trade. In this book, Fajardo examines the cultural politics of seafaring, Filipino maritime masculinities, and globalization in the Philippines and the Filipino diaspora -- book cover.
