In our recent story on the novel, America Is not the Heart by Elaine Castillo, we explore the experiences shared by Filipino women that unravel the perspectives on the standards of beauty and health; however, I would like to address its connections to Carlos Bulosan’s autobiographical novel, America Is in the Heart: A Personal History. In the epigraph from America Is not the Heart, the novel connects back to Bulosan’s passages, expressing that “I knew I could trust a gambler because I had been one of them,” which represents his understanding of the challenges that served as risks and chances of escaping his harsh reality growing up as a peasant in the Philippines, acknowledging the political and economic corruption that greatly affected the lower working class and farmers, as well as, his conflicting aspirations of migrating to America to achieve the American dream.
