SUMMARY:Ethnic Hierarchies and Gender in Dissent and Empowerment: Migrant Labor in Malaysia and Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Presented Dr. Angie Ngọc Trần\, CSU Monterey Bay \nMigrant workers from Vietnam going to work overseas are not just the Kinh (the majority)\, but also from the other 53 ethnic groups in Vietnam. I focus on five ethnic groups:theKinh\,theHoa(ethnicChinese)\,theKhmer\,theChămMuslimsandtheHrê\, who engage in different migration patterns and forms of resistance and empowerment. The transnational labor brokerage state system (LBS) has affected female and male migrants differently\, from the dehumanizing recruitment phase to the precarity and coping mechanisms while working in Malaysia. Class analysis alone does not explain the different cultural\, language\, and religious practices among these five groups. These practices offer strategies\, especially to the ethnic minorities\, who act individually or in solidarity with others\, in response to the transnational LBS system\, or bypassing it altogether. I focus on ethnic hierarchies\, based on economic factors (land\, finance\, education)\, and  cultural  resources (transnational  networks\,  language\, religion). These ethnic hierarchies inform and mediate how migrants engage in different spaces of dissent. Physical third space is occupied not according to the duality of legal-illegal categories in the name of the law\, but in the tacit acceptance of the community in which the migrants live and work. Metaphorical third space is about discourse of dissent\, uttered by non-state competing authorities\, to challenge the state’s authority through ironic and subversive mimicries. Overall\, I highlight different gender responses in these spaces of dissent and empowerment. My findings are based on eight years of research and fieldwork interviews in Vietnam and Malaysia (2008- 2015)\, a significant period of change in labor export policies. \n\nAngie Ngọc Trần is a Professor of Political Economy at California State University\, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). She is an activist scholar\, working on labor movements and resistance in Vietnam\, and transnational labor migration. Her current book project is on the full cycle of south-south transnational migration patterns\, focusing on Vietnamese migrants of different ethnic  groups\, working in Malaysiaand returning to Vietnam\, bringing  ethnicity\, class\,  gender\,  religion\, and  forms  of empowermentand resistance into her analysis. Her 2013 book\, Ties That Bind: Cultural Identity\, Class and Law in Flexible Labor Resistance in Vietnam (Cornell University Press)\, analyzes over 100 years of labor movements and resistance in Vietnam\, using race\, class and gender analyses. Her other research interests and publications include critical perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility in textile/garment/footwear and agro-processing sectors in Vietnam\, impacts of multi-stakeholder negotiations on labor relations in Vietnam\, and implications of trade-labor linkages  for Vietnamese  labor unions and workers through regional trade agreements.

SUMMARY:Grand Theft Buffalo - "Animals" and Property in Imperial Vietnam
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Prof. Bradley C. Davis\, Eastern Connecticut \nBased largely on nineteenth century archives but informed by a broad environmental humanities perspective\, this presentation considers the category of animals in imperial Vietnam. As an element of a sedentary agricultural empire\, buffalo (bubalus bubalis) received legal protections that befitted their collective status as biotic farm machines\, including an important role in imperial discourses of property that informed French colonial law in the late nineteenth century. Elephants\, however\, enjoyed a very different status in imperial Vietnam\, one elucidated through imperial law and one that reflected their role as biotic war machines. How do the practices and conventions surrounding buffalo and elephants contribute to discourses of development and governmentality in imperial Vietnam? Does “animal” (động vật – “mobile thing”)\, itself a neologism\, capture the historical experiences of buffalo and elephants? \nA historian of Southeast Asia\, East Asia\, and Vietnam\, Bradley Camp Davis (PhD University of Washington\, 2008) is an associate professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University. As an author and translator\, he has written articles on imperial geographies\, banditry\, ethnographic knowledge\, the creation of the French consular system in northern Vietnam\, Tai polities in the Black River Basin\, and the cultural politics of language in Vietnam. Davis’s first book Imperial Bandits: Outlaws and Rebels in the China-Vietnam Borderlands (Washington\, 2017)\, examines nineteenth century bandit armies whose violent acts echo into the present. This talk comes from his current project examining discourses on nature and ethnic difference in Vietnam from the Nguyễn (1802-1880s) to the early French colonial period.

SUMMARY:Hot off the Presses event with guest speaker\, Sarita See
DESCRIPTION: The Filipino Primitive: Accumulation and Resistance in the American Museum\n\n\n\nSarita See argues that collections of stolen artifacts form the foundation of American knowledge production. Nowhere can we appreciate more easily the triple forces of knowledge accumulation—capitalist\, colonial\, and racial—than in the imperial museum\, where the objects of accumulation remain materially\, visibly preserved. The Filipino Primitive takes Karl Marx’s concept of “primitive accumulation\,” usually conceived of as an economic process for the acquisition of land and the extraction of labor\, and argues that we also must understand it as a project of knowledge accumulation. \n\n\n\n\nCan you please share this event with colleagues and students in the Anthropology department who may be interested in attending? It is free and open to the public. We are eager for a strong audience and appreciate any help. For more information see flyer attached or visit our website: http://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/event/see/
