Filipino American Ethnicity, Education and Diaspora in Hawaii is a 2021 compilation by Jonathan Y. Okamura of selected journal articles and book chapters previously published 1983-2021. Okamura was born and raised on Maui (yonsei, 4th generation Japanese American), attended high school and college in California and received his graduated education in London, completing his dissertation fieldwork on Filipino immigrants in Honolulu. From 2000 to 2021 Okamura was a faculty member in the University of Hawaii at Manoa Ethnic Studies Department, College of Social Sciences.

Okamura hopes to encourage others, especially young Filipino American students and scholars, to pursue research on Filipino Americans in Hawaii, an understudied but important subject: Understanding the historical and contemporary experiences of Filipino Americans can inform us immensely about the workings of race, ethnicity and racism in Hawaii and the continental United States.
