"In Virginia Beach, Isabel galvanizes the drifting teens with reenactments of the Filipino myth of creation and other empowering stories of ethnic identity. Yet she is criticized in the community for her "white" ways and for engendering what the parents see as disrespect for authority; they insist she stage a traditional beauty pageant instead. Her attempts to befriend the vapid, in-fighting teenage girls show her that their lives are circumscribed by tsismis (literally, a dangerous monsoon rain; figuratively, gossip) and hiya (a hot flower in bloom, metaphor for the shame of speaking up). Gradually, Isabel begins to transform herself into a "fighting Filipina" with the help of a fellow teacher's aggressive political preaching and through an autobiographical photography project that forces her to examine her own life."- Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis
In One Tribe, the dealth of Isabel Manalo's unborn child stirs widespread speculation in her small Midwestern suburb. Fed up with the noise of tsismosas (gossips), she moves to Virginia Beach to teach myth and history to Filipino-American youth, and walks into a chaotic world of drive-by shootings, beauty pageants and community politicking. At every turn she butts heads with the youth gangs who distrust her, the community elders who disapprove of her loose outsider ways, and a Filipino boyfriend who accuses her of acting too white. Eventually Isa fights back. As hurricane Emilia brews at the edge of the east coast, Isa opens her house to a local girl gang and nourishes their troubled spirits, instigating change as sudden as the shift of tropical winds., In One Tribe, the death of Isabel Manalo's unborn child stirs wide spread speculation in her small Midwestern suburb.
