volume is based upon Professor Lal^s path-breaking scholarship and research on
Indian history, comparative colonial histories, and the contemporary politics
of knowledge and culture. The Other Indians synthesize, in pocketbook form,
his ideas around the emergence of the Indian community in the U.S. with a focus
on post-1965 communities. The thirteen chapters cover the following topics:
Indians in the global setting and their passage to America; early students and
rebels; the emergence of new South Asian communities; culture, religion,
education, and affluence; and the politics and future of Indians in the U.S and
in the Indian diaspora. This is the first volume of the Press^s "Asia
Pacific Ideas/Professor-in-a-Pocket" series that features the innovative
thinking and research of the renowned faculty of the UCLA Asian American
Studies Center. The Center, established in 1969, and the new UCLA Asian
American Studies Department, together constitute the only Asian American
studies program in the nation that combines teaching, research, and
publishing. The Other Indians is the first pocket-sized political and cultural
history of South Asian Indians in America and designed for the general public
as well as classroom usage. Photographs and a handy resource reading guide are
included.</span></p>
