Alden Marte-Wood is currently finishing his first book, Reproductive Fictions: Overseas Filipina Writers and Capitalism’s Crisis of Care. This project establishes a longue durée continuity between martial law-era crises of social reproduction in the Philippines, the state-sponsored export of care work, the contemporary outsourcing of digital intimacy, and diasporic Filipina literature.
