Reviews

Pankaj Jain has done a great service both to the Indian American community and to the wider public with this valuable and timely book. Engagingly written, with humor and clarity, the reader comes away with a vivid sense of the Indian American experience. The chapter on the often overlooked Jain community is a particular strength of this work, which is sure to become an indispensable volume in the literature on multicultural studies. - Jeffery D. Long, Professor of Religion and Asian Studies, Elizabethtown College, USA
