Migration And Women’S Relationships To The Land And Food In Myanmar, Allison Joseph
Migration And Women’S Relationships To The Land And Food In Myanmar, Allison Joseph
Scripps Senior Theses
Abstract
In the 21st century, Myanmar has become the largest migration source country in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. To achieve its economic and political goals, the government has conducted extensive confiscation and reallocation of communal lands, which has resulted in a growing class of landless and dispossessed citizens. Under the new laws, rural women are disproportionately impacted and more vulnerable to the processes of dispossession, often lacking the rights or resources of their male counterparts to fight for the land of their ancestors.

I will present a complex critique of both art and culture through an inquiry of the production and evaluation of the Chicana feminist artist, their role as the artist, and their contributions to unfixing the traditional and marginalized feminine. I argue that third wave Chicana …

Today, in the French-speaking Caribbean, in the domain of theory, a choice is presented among three terms: africanité, créolitém and antillanité. As with any option which presents itself in exclusive forms, this choice is embedded in the complex antagonisms of contemporary Caribbean politics.
