One of the many book reading/signing events that are part of Dr. Kevin Nadal's book tour for his book Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice was held in Bonita, California. It was a very casual, close-knit event sponsored by Pnoy Apparel and held in the Sapphire Lounge; a good mixture of laughter and serious discussion.

Filipino Americans are the second largest Asian American/ Pacific Islander population in the United States and they are projected to become the largest Asian American population by 2010. With 1.37 million Filipino-born immigrants living in the US, Filipino Americans are the second largest immigrant population in the country.

As descendants of the Philippines, a country that was colonized by Spain for over three centuries and by the US for nearly 50 years, Filipino Americans are an ethnic group with a sociocultural and historical experience that is unlike any other. First, they are the only ethnic group that has been categorized as Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic.

Kevin Nadal will make history this Thursday, June 25 in New York City, where he will launch Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice, the first book of its kind, at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (7-9 PM, local time).

With an ancestry that includes three centuries of Spanish rule, 50 years of American occupation, and heavy migration to the United States, Nadal presents the first comprehensive look at the collective psyche of Pilipino Americans.  As the 2nd largest Asian American population in the United States (2.4 million), it's surprising that his studies are only the first to be published.
