UPDATED FILIPINO AMERICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY

filipino_american_literature_bibliography
*Disclaimer: this is an attempt at a somewhat comprehensive list, which I originally created in August 2006. Please bear in mind I am limited in my ability to know of every single title out there. That said, I will update this list on a somewhat regular basis, as titles become known to me. Regarding self-published books, I am not yet sure how to include these, given my general difficulty in discerning vanity presses from various, diverse "D.I.Y." publishing projects. I do not include e-publications and CD's. I also do not include graphic novels, but if titles become known to me I will rethink this omission. There are some titles that cross genre, and which I decided to place in one genre over another.*
