Carlos
Bulosan was a young Filipino immigrant in the United
States in the 1930s. He spoke little English and
worked as a dishwasher, farm worker and cannery
worker. He came to America during a time when
African-Americans and Asians faced systemic racism
enshrined in such laws as the Anti-Misogyny Act which
barred marriage between white people and people of
colour. In spite of these oppressive conditions, he
educated himself and became a writer. He chronicled
his life and times in an autobiographical novel,
America is in the Heart. Carlos Bulosan helped
organize unions and fought for equality in a racist
society until his death in 1956. It is in this spirit
that we name our theatre company after him. |
