Reviews

A brilliant analysis of the interplay between class and culture among minorities. Saran's fascinating account of Asian Indian culture explains why the stereotype of this group as a highly successful minority is only partially correct and why Asian Indians don't always make it. A landmark achievement in our understanding of the complexity of immigration to the U.S. - William Helmreich, author of The New York Nobody Knows: Walking 6,000 Miles in the City; Professor of Sociology at CUNY Graduate Center and at the Colin Powell School of Civic & Global Leadership
