The experience of diaspora, exile and migration entails an uprootedness involving physical dislocation and imagined displacement from "home." In the contemporary world, uprootedness ("homelessness") takes manifold forms as neoliberal globalization renders nations and peoples vulnerable to "wars of homes" in their migratory lives. During the Philippine Commonwealth era, the trajectory of "home" with the American promise to grant Philippine independence set into play a diasporic encounter. In the Interwar Period, this diasporic engagement pointed toward the exilic-a dispersion. In the literature of the period, inscribed in metaphors and tropes was the trajectory of diaspora as tilapon which came in flashes of tilamsik (literally, "sparks") of home, not-home, and back-home, in which the exilic became a consciousness that exile at once affirms and negates in the ongoing struggle for nationhood.
