By focusing upon the lives, work, and activism of specific, often unacknowledged, migrant populations, the contributors present a more comprehensive vision of the South Asian presence in the United States. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTracking the changes in global power that have influenced the paths and experiences of migrants, from expatriate Indian maritime workers at the turn of the century, to Indian nurses during the Cold War, to post-9\/11 detainees and deportees caught in the crossfire of the War on Terror, these essays reveal how the South Asian diaspora has been shaped by the contours of U.S. imperialism. Driven by a shared sense of responsibility among the contributing scholars to alter the profile of South Asian migrants in the American public imagination, they address the key issues that impact these migrants in the U.S., on the subcontinent, and in circuits of the transnational economy. Taken together, these essays provide tools with which to understand the contemporary political and economic conjuncture and the place of South Asian migrants within it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vivek Bald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814786444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrashad, Vijay:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eVijay Prashad\u003c\/b\u003e is author of \u003ci\u003eEverybody was Kung Fu Fighting: Afro-Asian Connections and the Myth of Cultural Purity\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBald, Vivek:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eVivek Bald\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Comparative Media Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of Bengali Harlem and the Lost Histories of South Asian America.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChatterji, Miabi:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eMiabi Chatterji\u003c\/b\u003e received her PhD from New York University in American Studies.
