“…Women's marginalization and invisibility in public records is also reflected in the failure of scholars to investigate the roles of women, especially when they research Asian fisheries (Pauly 2006;Siar and Kusakabe 2020: 24). Even though "gender and fisheries" research emerged in the 1990s as a field of scholarly endeavor (Williams et al 2004: 5), there is no previous investigation of Asian fisheries "that systematically tackles gender issues or women's participation and integration in fisheries development" (Siason 2001: 76).10 By reconceptualizing the work roles of fisherwomen, we seek to address this gap in the literature and to overcome the sexist stereotypes that handicap public policy formation about fishing communities.…”

“…Asian activist groups battle corporate biopiracy in which multinational agribusinesses seek to prevent indigenous seed collection and community seed banks. See La Via Campesina (2015) to the world food system (e.g., Siar and Kusakabe 2020). More than 90 percent of the world's fishers are small-scale operators, and 73 percent of them are concentrated in Asia.…”

“…Asian fishers are creative at finding methods to continue in fishing. Some overcome declining catches in their home communities by migrating to follow the seasonal flows of fish and shellfish (Siar and Kusakabe 2020). Male fishers are subsidized by the earnings of wives from non-fishing sources (see Chapter 6) and from household members who move in circular fashion between rural and urban livelihoods, treating the fishing household as home.…”

We promised to keep secret the identities of peasant fishers, NGO staff and local public officials who encompass the vast majority of those to whom we need to show respect for the knowledge, hospitality, guidance and extra bits of help that made our research manageable in difficult, under-funded circumstances. Many of you opened your homes, took hours away from your work schedules, and shared scare food resources with us. One of you fisherwomen told us that "the world does not weep" for endangered peasant fishers and their communities. Taking to heart what you told us, we have done our best in this book and in our public presentations to make people stop to see the globalized world from your vantage point. In the words of the Philippine Catholic Bishops ("Pastoral Letter on Ecology," 1988):Go to my mountain cradle.Go to my home and sea. Look on my ruined forests.And note what ye did to me.However, we also need to thank a group of people whose identities we can publicly acknowledge. We wish to express our deep appreciation and warm affection to the many Philippine feminists, fishery/mangrove scholars, nutritional analysts, and time-analysis specialists whose published scholarship we gleaned to construct the historiography of how the Philippines was transformed into a food extractive enclave to feed the world. Our bibliography reflects that many of you were on the early cutting edge of concern about hunger, women's overwork, and destruction of the country's ecological resources.
