Reviews

Roli Varma s book, Harbingers of Global Change, offers a penetrating analysis of how India s highly educated techno-immigrants hit a Silicon Ceiling that keeps them out of management, whether they work in U.S. universities, government, and industry. Varma s book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Asian Diasporia of scientists of engineers, how scientific identity is negotiated across different cultures, and how we, as a members of a knowledge society, can begin to (re) model a 'model minority.'--Sheila Slaughter
