General Note
  • General note - "When Victoria Hoffarth was at graduate school in the U.S., her lecturer, the anthropologist Margaret Mead, once told her class, "There are so many varied places in the world. it is incumbent upon us to search for one where we most fit." Thus, despite having been born and brought up in the Philippines, Victoria never felt at home there. And so, she became a cultural refugee, searching for where she most fitted. This is the story of finding yourself and learning to look beyond what you now to find home - even if that is where you first began." - Back cover
