The South Asian Americans

  • 1 Want to read

This work, designed for students and interested readers, provides the first in-depth examination of recent South Asian immigrant groups - their history and background, current facts, comparative cultures, and contributions to contemporary American life. Groups discussed include Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Nepalis, and Afghans. Controversial questions are examined: Does the American political economy welcome or exploit South Asian immigrants?

Are American and South Asian values compatible? Leonard shows how the American social, religious, and cultural landscape looks to these immigrants and the contributions they make to it, and she outlines the experiences and views of the various South Asian groups. Statistics and tables provide information on migration, population, income, and employment. Biographical profiles of noted South Asian Americans, a glossary of terms, and selected maps and photos complete the text.
