Her Kaleidoscopic Ethnicity is primarily an anthropological work.
It investigates the ways in which Malayali migrants from three different Kerala communities handle the opportunities and challenges of working in the Gulf.
Three villages are studied, one predominantly Muslim, one Hindu and one Christian.
She shows how the different cultures of these three villages were shaped by their historical experience, and how they profoundly influenced the way in which the villagers coped with the new challenges.
In A Place at the Multicultural Table Kurien reviews the ways in which Hindu American organizations are trying to address the question of cultural identity for Hindu Americans, including immigrants and those born in the US.
She looks at the emerging "American Hinduism", an organized, standardized and politicized version of the more diverse Hinduism of India.
Kurien makes the point that most American Hindus have no connection to the small group of ideologues who lead Hindutva-related organisations in the US, but few actively oppose the Hindutva movement.
The vast majority are silent, falling between the extremes.
