Matsuzawa, M.C. (2010). ''Nationalism 2.0: Gender and nationalism mediated in the use
of Internet tools of GABRIELA USA'', Unpublished Thesis, University of the Philippines
College of Mass Communication.

This study examines how a notion of nationalism that transcends traditional
notions on citizenship and allegiance is possible. Also this research looked into the role
that the New Media play with its ability to host claims and form networks. This research
zoomed in on the unique strand of feminism present in the Philippine women‘s
movement to give a historical perspective on how history contributed to the current
framework of GABRIELA.

This study examines the expansion of GABRIELA in the USA and its
contributions to the Philippine women‘s movement and to the notion of nationalism
mediated through Internet tools it uses. Given the opportunities opened by New Media in
doing organizing work and hosting claims, this research discusses how the strand of
activism of GABRIELA translates on their online presence.

With the case of GABRIELA in the USA which is miles away from the 
Philippines and with membership that include second to third generation migrants, this
study tries to examine how the organization‘s political framework makes possible a
sisterhood that allows nationalism with an international solidarity aspect.
The analysis was done through the use of methodological triangulation with a
predominantly qualitative character. Research instruments used involved Focus
Interviews on members of the organization and Content Analysis of their web site.
