Beschreibung
In this memoir, the author looks back to how even as she grew up thinking and speaking Cebuano, a major language in the Philippines, she somehow found her first literary voice in the poems she wrote in English, the language of instruction in the educational system she attended. She traces how her poetic self-expression in English soon evolved into writing personal essays through high school and college and how this progressed into writing academic articles to keep her teaching position at a university in the Philippines. She then narrates how her academic writing background incalculably facilitated her career as a government researcher and college instructor during more than 3 decades of her 43-year permanent residency in Canada. Interweaving the stories of her writing experience with recollections of family and work-life in the Philippines and Canada, she draws her journey to a full circle with her once again writing literary pieces and putting them together in the three memoirs she had self-published since 2019.

Über den Autor
The writing of An Immigrant Goes Back Home to Cebu was largely inspired by the author's serendipitous sighting of a school of sockeye salmon swimming against the water current from their interim home in the Pacific Ocean to their natal stream north of Terrace, British Columbia in Canada, where she has resided in the past 26 years. She has used this as a springboard to present her own migration journey to Canada from her home province of Cebu, in the Philippines, and recently her homing in on Cebu for good at this point in her life. From the University of San Carlos in Cebu, she earned her B.A. in the Social Sciences (summa cum laude) and M.A. in Anthropology. She was a recipient of the American Field Service, Ford Foundation, and Fulbright scholarships before migrating to Canada in 1978. She worked with the Alberta government as a researcher/policy analyst before moving to Terrace, British Columbia where she taught at the Coast Mountain College. Retired from teaching in 2012, she now runs with her husband, Anecto H. Garcia, the Roberto and Vicenta Cui Foundation for Cebu's poor. She has written another memoir: A Teacher Between Worlds (2019).
