dc.description.abstractThis paper looks at the symbiotic relationship between the use of the Internet and the re/construction of ethnic identities. It argues that the incomplete and ongoing self-making nature of ethnic identity can shape how the Internet is used, as much as how the Internet shapes identity. Taken from ongoing research on the use of Internet centers by marginalized women in the Thai-Burmese border, the paper reflects upon the various means and meanings of the appropriation of the technology.en
