Sachiko Tanuma

Met with visiting scholar Sachiko Tanuma yesterday. She has finished her ethnograhpic fieldwork in Cuba and is struggling with how to negotiate official and utopian visions of Cuba, both in the field and in academia (!). I sent her articles from the Troubles in Paradise class and my thesis. Her husband, Takashi Osugi, is here for the year, and works on Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago. SHe sent me a recent article, which she has published in Japan and is trying get published in English in Venezuela. Saved as ~/archive/articles/text/anuma_sachiko_venezuela_version.doc.
