| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research has addressed how the South Asian immigrants and diasporas have reconstructed their religious "traditions" and how the realigned religious faith and practices have affected their social capital development, drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Trinidad and South Florida. This study has revealed intricate political and pragmatic relationships between differently-identified religious groups over their devotion to the single Marian statue, while based on ethnographic research at the oldest and largest Indo-Caribbean Hindu temple in South Florida, it has presented a heuristic and critical case for comparison with the earlier studies, which explore the South Asian communities in the traditional settlements such as New York.
