      abstract = {This book explores the dynamics of the socio-cultural  baggage that Indian indentured migrants took with them to  the Caribbean island of Trinidad and how they have since  become a vibrant diaspora community, namely the  Indo-Trinidadians. It combines social history with  first-hand fieldwork data to portray human ingenuity in  terms of social reconstitution and community building in a  hostile socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, it  addresses key social institutionsreligion, caste, and  familyand cultural elementslanguage, foodways, and  ethnicity. Its analytical framework is guided by the  concept of metamorphosis; it steers clear of the  persistence versus change hypotheses. Given its focus, it  will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology,  social anthropology, history, and migration and diaspora  studies.},
