The Cultural Appropriation of Buddha in American Advertisements
Employing a mixed qualitative and quantitative method, this paper explores why and how Buddha is being reimagined, appropriated, and baked into American advertisements, as well as what underlying values inform such a practice. Building upon previous scholars’ work, we argue that Buddha-branded advertisements cater to all socio-economic classes not just the elite. Buddha is used as a spiritual resource to promote desire, reinforcing rather than ch…
Nationalisms and Soft Power Games (民族主义, 软实力的博弈)
This essay focuses on the roller-coaster ride of Chinese language education in Thailand in relation to time-specific nationalisms and “soft power” strategies exercised by the Thai and Chinese states. The article first examines how Thai and Chinese nationalisms shaped the rise and fall of Chinese-language education in 20th-century Thailand and then addresses soft-power games played by these two states in the process of reviving Chinese-language ed…
Thai American Middle-Classness
This essay explores how Thai transmigrants practice middle-classness by forging alliances with middle-class Whites and cultivating patronage from elites in Thailand. It suggests that simultaneously engaging with local and transnational networks and two sets of cultural codes have become defining characteristics of Thai American middle-class practices. Such practices challenge equating social categories with social groups, deconstruct the false "t…
From Wandering to Wat
Buddhism is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States. The estimated number of Americans who practice Buddhism ranges from 2.5 to 4 million and the number is rising. Hundreds of Theravada Buddhist wats [temples] have been built by immigrants and refugees from mainland Southeast Asia since the late 1960s. Often, old churches or residences have been converted into temples to meet immediate needs for space to practice Buddhism collec…

Merit-Making Capitalism
This article examines how middle-class Thai Americans in Silicon Valley, California, conflate Thai Buddhism with capitalism, and how they convert economic capital into symbolic capital through merit-making. Moreover, it considers the effects of transnational migration on the re-territorialization of Buddhism and the social recognition of Thais in the United States. The ethnography shows that there are more than one set of criteria for potential c…
The Gendered Biopolitics of Marriage and Immigration
This first attempt to include women in the pre-1949 history of Chinese immigration to Thailand examines the dialectical relationship between immigration and marital practices through a gender lens. It is argued that labour immigration is not simply an economic endeavour, but rather a complex process of cultural production in which Thai and Chinese regimes compete to produce gendered citizens
