Synopsis South Asian immigrants to the United States and Canada have already established a distinct identity for themselves. Their positive contributions to the enrichment of American and Canadian societies have been well recognized. The summative essay in the book clearly delineates not only the positive contributions made by these affluent immigrants but also identifies some of the unforeseen challenges faced by them in a multicultural environment with a predominance of Anglo-Saxon values. The first author as a Fulbrighter and a Shastri Fellow has actively observed the life styles of the South Asian diaspora. The second author has herself played an active role in the acculturation and empowerment of Asian Indian Americans. The annotated bibliography will be quite handy to provide a golden path to the social science researchers and common readers.
