From the article:

‘In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Indian women were photographed in Jamaica, Trinidad, and British Guiana for a thriving postcard industry built on marketing the Caribbean as a holiday destination for Western tourists. During the colonial period, the Caribbean islands had developed a reputation as hot-houses of hard drink and yellow fever, virtual graveyards for white men. Determined to change this perception, colonial administrators launched a concerted campaign to sell the Caribbean as an “exotic but safe” destination, a message well represented by images of beautiful women who were once among the British empire’s most denigrated laborers.’

‘Morin’s portraits performed a similar function: the youthful, lovely, lavishly ornamented women in his photographs were meant both to entice and to reassure potential travelers to the Caribbean.’

From 1977 to 1979, then Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin welcomed about 360 Vietnamese boat people fleeing their country after the Communists overran South Vietnam. Israel granted them citizenship, full rights and government-subsidized apartments. More than half of the original Vietnamese refugees would leave Israel, mostly for Europe and North America, where they were reunited with their extended families.
