      title = {Fabrics of indianness : the exchange and consumption of  clothing in transnational Guyanese Hindu Communities /},
      abstract = {This book describes how Guyanese Hindus recreate Indian  ethnic identity in contemporary Guyana and examines how  Hindu traditions have been transformed in this  multi-religious and multi-ethnic society. By illustrating  the exchange and consumption of clothing, the book  demonstrates that the practices of wearing and gifting  clothes materialize and visualize relationships. The  significant outward migration of Guyanese to North America  has resulted in substantial international gift exchange and  transnational rituals. Applying the concept of  translocality, this book demonstrates that different  localities continue to influence transnational networks and  socio-cultural practices. It provides a study of migration  that emphasizes various aspects of material and visual  closeness, conceptualizing the notion of touch.},
