As a Caribbeanist, I was pleased to find out recently about the ongoing digitization project of the Digital Library of the Caribbean. I found it useful to think of Liu's call for cultural criticism in the context of Alexander Gil's thoughts on what would make an effective polyglot, multi-sited Caribbean DH Lab:

Clarissa, Roopika and I are starting first with Digitizing Chinese Englishmen http://chineseenglishmen.adelinekoh.org. Wanna join us? We'll need help cleaning data, particularly for the Chinese and Malay portions, and with TEI markup.

@Clarissa, that'd be fab! Please ask anyone interested in helping to email me (adelinekoh@gmail.com) and Roopika (rrisam@gmail.com).

Awesome to have you on board Anne, and the point you make is an excellent one. One of my good friends in Singapore, Yumei Balasingamchow, has expressed discomfort about having online archives taken over by the state through government funding--given that it might restrict access at any time. This speaks to Alex's point about the need for us in dhpoco to practice a sort of guerrilla DH sometimes, strategically.

Adeline beat me to it, but I was just going to say that this ties in to Alex's argument about subversive DH practices and governmental restriction - so I'll add the link to Alex's remarks: http://vanilla.dhpoco.org/discussion/8/week-1-question-2-dhs-genealogies#Item_14
Howdy, Stranger!
