Overview

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted experiences of Indian migrants in the United States, weaving together narratives of ambition, resilience, and struggle. This volume delves into diverse dimensions of migration, from undocumented immigrants navigating precarious circumstances to high-skilled professionals balancing economic security with political uncertainty. It highlights critical themes such as the challenges faced by dependent visa holders, the nursing shortages in Massachusetts, and the evolving landscape of student migration post-COVID-19. Through rigorous qualitative and quantitative analyses, the book examines migration as a spatial, political, and transformative process, while also addressing broader issues like caste discrimination, climate resilience, and the socioeconomic impacts of remittances. By centering the voices of migrants, adoptees, and marginalized communities, this volume provides a nuanced understanding of migration’s costs, benefits, and implications for both home and host countries. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of migration studies, diaspora studies, sociology, and public policy, as well as practitioners and policymakers seeking to understand the complexities of Indian migration and its global impact.
