Description
Kuah explores the centrality of ancestors and ancestor worship of the Chinese in the Diaspora Chinese and China universes. Building on the original work and book on “Rebuilding the Ancestral Village: Singaporeans in China”, this book goes beyond the premise of remaking the ancestral home to uncover the complexities of ancestor worship.

Her primary research areas are Diaspora Chinese - China Relations; and Religion, politics and society, Reformist Buddhism and Buddhist compassion in East and Southeast and Asia.
