In his comparative study of four Tamil resettlements, Clothey examines the rituals that have traveled with these South Indian communities -- Hindu, Muslim, and Christian -- and how these practices perpetuate or modify the heritages these groups claim in their new environs. Clothey looks specifically at settlements in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Singapore; Mumbai, India; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
