Episode Details

Sheryl welcomes Madhulika Khandelwal, Director of the Asian/American Center and Associate Professor in Urban Studies Department at Queens College, City University of New York. Born and educated in India, she came here to learn more about American history so she could go back and teach her students back home. What she learned, however, was about the history of Indian immigrants in American, in New York in particular, and from there, about the many other Asian groups that add spice and color to the city's melting pot. Dr. Khandelwal's ethnographic research on South Asian immigrant communities in the New York area has been published in her book “Becoming American, Being Indian: An Immigrant Community in New York City.”
