Emil Amok: It’s Filipino American History Month

This is the 25th year of “Emil Amok,” my columnizing of the Asian American/Filipino American experience.

Besides being my birthday month, October is Filipino American History Month.

Check out my video Prof. Dan Gonzales, one of the foremost experts in Filipino American History.

And don’t forget to see more of my Amok columns at AALDEF like this one on the Filipinos at the St. Louis Fair.

While you’re on the AALDEF site see the latest columns there.

And definitely check out my new haircut in my interview with Dan Gonzales.

Emil Guillermo: See me perform my “Amok Monologues.” Coming to Baltimore, MD, Nov. 4,5,11,12. Read what a critic (white, unrelated, awake for the whole thing) wrote.

Here’s where you can see me go amok .

 

For East Coast folks, I’m bringing “Amok” to Baltimore’s Charm City Fringe Festival, Nov. 4, 5, 11, 12.

Lots to do in Baltimore. Go to Little Italy.  Then head to the Bromo Arts district and see a Little Filipino show.

Get your Charm City Fringe tickets here.

The Amok Monologues are my stories told live taken from the columns I’ve written and my experiences as a an American Filipino growing up in the U.S., and working in the media.

It’s funny, tragic, provocative personal history.

An American Filipino story.

But here’s what critic Bill Eadie of San Diego Story, the area’s premiere arts journal, had to say:

Come and by and go “Amok.” And if you can’t make it, contact me and I’ll bring it to your city!
