America Is in the Heart
''America Is in the Heart'', sometimes subtitled ''A Personal History'', is a 1946 semi-autobiographical novel written by Filipino American immigrant poet, fiction writer, short story teller, and activist, Carlos Bulosan.〔("America Is in the Heart: A Personal History" by Carlos Bulosan (Introduction by Carey McWilliams) ), University of Washington Press, washington.edu〕〔 The novel was one of the earliest published books that presented the experiences of the immigrant and working class based on an Asian American point of view and has been regarded as "()he premier text of the Filipino-American experience."〔 In his introduction, journalist Carey McWilliams,〔 who wrote a 1939 study about migrant farm labor in California (''Factories in the Field''), described ''America Is in the Heart'' as a “social classic” that reflected on the experiences of Filipino immigrants in America who were searching for the “promises of a better life”.〔〔("America Is in the Heart" (''Magill’s Survey of American Literature'', Revised Edition) ), enotes.com〕〔(America Is in the Heart, Part 1 ), loc.gov〕
==Plot==
Born in 1913,〔Smith, Gene. ("America is in the Heart" by Carlos Bulosan ), 2013-10-17〕 Bulosan recounts his boyhood in the Philippines.〔〔("America is in the Heart" Study Guide ), bookrags.com〕 The early chapters describe his life as a Filipino farmer "plowing with a carabao".〔 Bulosan was the fourth oldest son of the family. As a young Filipino, he once lived in the farm tended by his father, while his mother was separately living in a barrio in Binalonan, Pangasinan, together with Bulosan’s brother and sister. Their hardship included pawning their land and had to sell items in order to finish the schooling of his brother Macario.〔 He had another brother named Leon, a soldier who came back after fighting in Europe.〔
Bulosan's narration about his life in the Philippines was followed by his journey to the United States.〔 He recounted how he immigrated to America in 1930.〔 He retells the struggles, prejudice, and injustice he and other Filipinos had endured in the United States, first while in the Northwestern fisheries then later in California〔 These included his experiences as a migrant and laborer in the rural West.〔
