![]() | New Roots in America''s Sacred Ground: Religion, Race, and Ethnicity in Indian America Subjects: East Indian Americans -- Ethnic identity; East Indian Americans -- Religion; East Indian Americans -- Social conditions; Religious minorities -- United States -- Social conditions; Ethnicity -- United States; United States -- Religion; United States -- Ra; In this compelling look at second-generation Indian Americans, Khyati Y. Joshi draws on case studies and interviews with forty-one second-generation Indian Americans, analyzing their experiences involving religion, race, and ethnicity from elementary school to adulthood. As she maps the crossroads they encounter as they navigate between their homes and the wider American milieu, Joshi shows how their identities have developed differently from their parents' and their non-Indian peers' and how religion often exerted a dramatic effect. Through her candid insights into the internal conflicts contemporary Indian Americans face and the religious and racial discrimination they encounter, Joshi provides a timely window into the ways that race, religion, and ethnicity interact in day-to-day life. KHYATI Y. JOSHI is an assistant professor at the School of Education at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey. |
