Barely 40 years after beginning a major immigration movement to the United States, Indian Americans have established vigorous, thriving communities in major metropolitan areas across the country.

Combining human interest with critical analysis, historical data, and current information, ""Indian Americans"" relates this group's remarkable story in a clearly written style that will speak to a young generation of readers.
