Mixing - whether referred to as a mestizaje, callaloo, hybridity, creolization or multiculturalism - is a foundational cultural trope in Caribbean and Latin American societies. Historically entwined with colonial, anticolonial and democratic ideologies, ideas about mixing are interpreted and evaluated. As Aisha Khan shows in this ethnography, they reveal the tension that exists between identity as a source of equality and as an instrument through which social and cultural hierarchies are reinforced. Focusing on the Indian diaspora in the Caribbean, Khan examines this paradox as it is expressed in key dimensions of Hindu and Muslim cultural history and social relationships in southern Trinidad. In vivid detail, she shows how disempowered communities create livable conditions for themselves while participating in a broader culture that both celebrates and denies difference. Khan combines ethnographic research she conducted in Trinidad over the course of a decade with extensive archival research to explore how Hindu and Muslim Indo-Trinidadians interpret authority, generational tensions, and the transformations of Indian culture in the Caribbean through metaphors of mixing. She demonstrates how ambivalence about the desirability of a callaloo nation - a multicultural society - is manifest around the politics of multiculturalism.

Focusing on workplace safety and environmental protection in India, the book discusses the implementation of crucial policies in data collection, regulatory compliance, and occupational safety.

The oversight of national regulations by various authorities is also covered. Additionally, the text emphasizes the importance of reviewing existing literature to grasp the vital role of health and safety in enhancing employee well-being and organizational success.
