Carlos Bulosan

On November 2, 1911, Carlos Sampayan Bulosan was born in the barrio of Mangusmana, Binalonan, Pangasinan to a farming couple. Living in abject poverty, Bulosan left the Philippines in 1931 to join his two elder brothers who hoped to find better work in the plantation farms of the United States. There, in the midst of the depression and raging racism, Bulosan became a labor organizer who fought for the rights of migrant workers. He wrote well-received short stories and novels that illuminated the deplorable conditions faced by migrants. His most popular work is “America is in the Heart.” A year before his death, Bulosan wrote: “What impelled me to write? The answer is—my grand dream of equality among men and freedom to all. To give a voice to the voiceless 100,000 Filipinos in the United States, Hawaii and Alaska. Above all and ultimately, to translate the desires and aspirations of the whole Filipino people in the Philippines and abroad in terms relevant to contemporary history.”

As Long as the Grass Shall Grow

In the middle of that year when we were picking peas on the hillside, I noticed the school children playing with their teacher in the sun. It was my first time to see her, a young woman of about twenty-five, with brown hair and a white dress spotted with blue. The blue sky seemed to absorb the white color of her dress, but from where I stood she appeared all clothed with light blue. The blueness of the sea at the back of the schoolhouse also enhanced the blue dots of her dress. But my eyes were familiar with the bright colors on the hillside, the yellowing leaves of the peas, the sprouting green blades of the summer grass, the royal white crowns of the eidelweiss, the tall gray mountains in the distance, and the silent blue sea below the clear sky.
