Exploring the Digital Divide among the Bhutanese Refugee Community during Covid-19
The digital divide proved a critical barrier to accessing information and healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and negatively impacted the Bhutanese refugee community. Moving beyond a technological model of the digital divide that highlights a lack of access to computers and the internet, we engaged the community to co-produce a dynamic approach that identifies the impact of socio-cultural and socio-environmental factors as well.

Transcultural nostalgia for the colonial past
This study examines how different cultural groups forge a shared longing for the past, or transcultural nostalgia. The article suggests that each group’s past and present political-economic conditions are key contributors to transcultural nostalgia. Furthermore, it suggests that travel between spaces is a key means of transcultural remembering. It historically and ethnographically examines the transcultural nostalgia among Okinawans who had migra…

Becoming “Japanese” in Bolivia
This article chronicles the changing subject-positions of Okinawans in Bolivia from the 1950s to 1990s, who migrated to Colonia Okinawa, an agricultural settlement in the eastern Santa Cruz region, as sponsored migrants backed by the United States military administration and the Okinawan (Ryūkyū) government. Since the forced annexation of Okinawa by Imperial Japan in 1879, Okinawans and the Okinawan Diaspora have often been discriminated against …
Viewing Nations, Narrating Hybridity
Suzuki examines the multiple roles that transnational media can play in a diasporic community by analyzing reactions to and interpretations of NHK, a company engaged in satellite broadcasting of Japanese programs to Okinawan-Bolivians in Colonia Okinawa, a small farming settlement in Bolivia established by Okinawan immigrants in 1954. Rather than interpreting Okinawan-Bolivians' enthusiastic viewing of NHK satellite telecasts in Colonia Okinawa a…
