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.Text1 digital file (5 p.)enWOMEN'S EMPOWERMENTDISPLACED PERSONSMARGINALIZATIONWOMEN REFUGEESMIGRANT WORKERSSOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTSETHNIC MINORITIESFAR EAST ASIAMYANMARBURMATHAILANDInternet centers/usage by Burmese ethnic migrants in Mae Sod : traversing the borders of Internet divide and recasting ethnic identitiesIDRC-Related Report
