Description
The Caribbean Masala: Indian Identity in Guyana and Trinidad By Dave Ramsaran and Linden F. Lewis University Press of Mississippi, 2020 This book explores the complex experiences of people of Indian descent living in Guyana and Trinidad, two countries where their culture is a significant minority. The authors examine how these individuals have adapted to their new surroundings while still holding on to their unique heritage. Through focus groups, interviews, and observation, Ramsaran and Lewis shed light on various aspects of Indo-Caribbean life, including ritual, gender, family, and daily routines. They also investigate the tensions between assimilation and cultural preservation in the face of modernization and globalization. By understanding the intricate dynamics at play, this book provides a nuanced perspective on the Indian community in these countries, challenging common assumptions about identity, belonging, and culture.
