Résumé
Many Guyanese have migrated to New York since the 1980s and 1990s. The ethnography of practices, places of worship and actors focuses on the sub-community identifying itself as "Madrasi" (from South India), which has founded in the Queens district alone about forty Hindu temples dedicated to the Goddess. What happens to Creole Hinduism when it leaves the Creole worlds? How does it fit into Queens' multi-religious cosmopolitan landscape, and into the omnipresence of transnational networks, between "modernization", ethnicization and a return to Indian authenticity? What happens to the markers of creolization? I analyze the superposition of the multiple layers that describe Guyanese Hinduism in New York, and articulate this Hinduism-Palimpsest to its definition as a Creole religious.
