Download or read book Negotiating in visibility in the Cham American Diaspora written by Asiroh Cham and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is home to the largest Cham population outside of Asia. The Cham's complex heritage is often overlooked in both Southeast Asian and Asian American Studies despite a 2,000-year documented presence in Southeast Asia and over thirty years of Cham war refugees living in the United States. This thesis investigates questions of recognition in the Cham diaspora in America and the methods by which the Cham choose to narrate and negotiate their identities within social spheres, public institutions, and their own families; as an indigenous ethnic minority most of the world has never heard of. Through an ethnographic approach of in-depth oral history interviews with Cham Americans in California, this case-study demonstrates the dynamic ways that Cham people employ tactics of visibility/recognition in pragmatic ways to ensure survival. This study also reveals how Cham American experiences complicate the liberal model as Cham identity is not so easily recognizable given the history of genocide, erasures, and discourses that have marked the Cham as 'extinct.' Moreover, Cham Americans are not necessarily engaging in forms of political or official state recognition as an identifiable group despite being nearly invisible across various institutional levels in the United States.

Download or read book The Minority Muslim Experience in Mainland Southeast Asia written by John Goodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the lives of the Malay and Cham Muslims in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and examines how they co-exist and live in societies that are dominated by an alternative consensus and are illiberal and non-democratic in nature. Focusing on two major Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, both of whom live as minorities in societies that are not democratic and have a history of hostility and repression towards non-conforming ideas, the book explains their circumstances, the choices and life decisions they have to make, and how minorities can thrive in an unfriendly, monocultural environment. Based on original field work and research, the author analyses how people live, and how they adapt to societies which are not motivated by Western liberal ideals of multiculturalism. The book also offers a unique perspective on how Islam develops in an environment where it is seen as alien and disloyal. A useful contribution analyzing historical and post-colonial experiences of Muslim minorities and how they survive and evolve over the course of state monopoly in mainland Southeast Asia, this book will be of interest to academics working on Muslim minorities, Asian Religion and Southeast Asian Studies.

Download or read book Borders and Beyond written by Betti Rosita Sari and published by Yayasan Pustaka Obor Indonesia. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to a better understanding about the dynamics of transnational migration and diaspora in Northern Thailand border areas with Myanmar and Laos. Border cities in Southeast Asia are places that have unique characteristics because of rapid development which includes the process of transnational migration and diaspora communities from neighboring countries. Historically, different ethnic groups had migrated in the border areas of mainland Southeast Asian countries and China. Border cities, such as Mae Sai and Chiang Khong, are strategic places for refugees, minority groups, and others from neighboring countries to reside either temporary or permanently. The infrastructure and economic developments of those two cities in the border areas have not only influenced the formation of those two cities into multicultural societies, but also become more modern cities with various economic activities. Both Mae Sai and Chiang Khong gradually became more densely populated and have transformed into economic and tourist destinations because they have low-price goods, duty free markets, and even casinos. The arrivals of various ethnic groups in different times have formed a multicultural community, which plays a very important role in the development of border cities and surrounding areas. On top of these, the policies on border areas have been more complex considering the transnational movements of people, goods and ideas.

Download or read book Ethnicity and Politics in Southeast Asia written by Amy H. Liu and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains the treatment of ethnic minorities in Southeast Asia? This Element conceptually disaggregates ethnicity into multiple constituent markers – specifically language, religion, and phenotype. By focusing on the interaction between these three ethnic markers, Liu and Ricks explore how overlap between these markers can affect whether a minority integrates within a broader ethnic identity; successfully extracts accommodation as unique group; or engages in a contentious and potentially violent relationship with the hegemon. The argument is tested through six case studies: (1) ethnic Lao in Thailand: integration; (2) ethnic Chinese in Thailand: integration; (3) ethnic Chinese in Malaysia: accommodation; (4) ethnic Malays in Singapore: accommodation; (5) ethnic Malays in Thailand: contention; and (6) ethnic Chinese in Indonesia: contention.
Download or read book World Trade Systems of the East and West written by Geoffrey C. Gunn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In World Trade Systems of the East and West, Geoffrey C. Gunn profiles Nagasaki's historic role in mediating the Japanese bullion trade, especially silver exchanged against Chinese and Vietnamese silk. Founded in 1571 as the terminal port of the Portuguese Macau ships, Nagasaki served as Japan's window to the world over long time and with the East-West trade carried on by the Dutch and, with even more vigor, by the Chinese junk trade. While the final expulsion of the Portuguese in 1646 characteristically defines the “closed” period of early modern Japanese history, the real trade seclusion policy, this work argues, only came into place one century later when the Shogunate firmly grasped the true impact of the bullion trade upon the national economy.

Download or read book Shi a Minorities in the Contemporary World written by Scharbrodt Oliver Scharbrodt and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global migrations flows in the 20th century have seen the emergence of Muslim diaspora and minority communities in Europe, North America and other parts of the world. While there is a growing body of research on Muslim minorities in various regional contexts, the particular experiences of Shi'a Muslim minorities across the globe has only received scant attention.This book offers new comparative perspectives of Shi'a minorities outside of the so-called 'Muslim heartland' (the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Asia). It includes contributions on Shi'a minority communities in Europe, North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia that emerged out of migration from the Middle East and South Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries in particular. As a 'minority within a minority', Shi'a Muslims face the double challenge of maintaining as Islamic as well as a particular Shi'a identity in terms of communal activities and practices, public perception and recognition.

Download or read book Eden in the East written by Stephen Oppenheimer and published by Orion Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book completetly changes the established and conventional view of prehistory by relocating the Lost Eden—the world's first civilisation—to Southeast Asia. At the end of the Ice Age, Southeast Asia formed a continent twice the size of India, which included Indochina, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Borneo. In Eden in the East, Stephen Oppenheimer puts forward the astonishing argument that here in southeast Asia—rather than in Mesopotamia where it is usually placed—was the lost civilization that fertilized the Great cultures of the Middle East 6,000 years ago. He produces evidence from ethnography, archaeology, oceanography, creation stories, myths, linguistics, and DNA analysis to argue that this founding civilization was destroyed by a catastrophic flood, caused by a rapid rise in the sea level at the end of the last ice age.
Download or read book Southeast Asian Diaspora in the United States written by Jonathan H. X. Lee and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southeast Asian Diaspora in the United States: Memories and Visions, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow provides various exploratory interpretations on Southeast Asian American subjectivities, communities, histories, creativities, and cultural expressions, as they are revealed, informed, or infused with visions, dreams, and or memories of self in relation to others, places, time, and events – historically significant or quotidian. The interaction and interplay of visions, memories, and subjectivities is the focus of examination and interpretation, either directly or tangentially. Authors explore varieties of homes, religiosities, creativities, cultural forms and productions, and queer sexualities, utilizing critical ethnic and Asian American studies discourses coupled with other interdisciplinary approaches to provide new and alternative visions on Cambodian, Hmong, Filipino, Indonesian, Lao, Thai, and Vietnamese American subjects and their communities that links Southeast Asia to America in vexing, creative, and purposeful ways.
