Nandita is a middle-aged Hindu widow who has always derived her identity from her roles as mother and grandmother. So when her son asks her to move from India to Illinois to help settle his young family in a new country, Nandita is certain where her duty lies and willingly leaves everything she knows behind. Unfortunately she never considers how she will build a life of her own once her usefulness to her sons family declines. While Nandita attempts to redefine herself and find meaning in a new culture devoid of familiar traditions, her lifes path eventually leads her to Bill Brady, a widower, heartbroken over the recent death of his wife. As Bill and Nandita form a friendship over their commonalities related to grief, she is left to decide whether she wants him as a friendor something much more. Perched on the Periphery paints an intimate portrait of a Hindu widows journey to find her identity, search for meaning within a new culture, and contemplate loving again.

This volume examines the dynamic, mutually constitutive, relationship between religion and mobility in the contemporary era of Asian globalisation in which an increasing number of people have been displaced, forcefully or voluntarily, by an expanding global market economy and lasting regional political strife. Seven case studies provide up-to-date ethnographic perspectives on the translocal/transnational dimension of religion and the religious/spiritual aspect of movement. The chapters draw on research into Buddhism, Islam, Chinese qigong, Christianity and communal ritual as these religious beliefs and practices move in and across Singapore, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the upper Mekong region, the Thai-Burma border, the Middle East and France. With these diverse and rich ethnographic cases on translocal/transnational Asian religious practices and subjectivities, the book transcends the conventional nation-state centered framework to look into how mobile religious agents are redefining boundaries of local, regional, national identities and recreating translocal, transnational and interregional connectivity. In so doing, it illustrates the importance of promoting a dynamic understanding of Asia not just as a geopolitical entity but as an ongoing social and religious formation in late modernity. This book was published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology.
