It describes the complexities and challenges of adapting to a new culture while clinging to tradition. Asian-Indians represent a significant part of the professional and ?high-tech? workforce in the United States, and the majority are temporary workers, working on contractual jobs (H1-B and L1 work visa category). Further, it is not unusual for Indian immigrant workers to marry and have children while working in the U.S. Gradually, they learn to negotiate the U.S. cultural terrain in both their place of work and at home in the U.S. As such there is the potential that they will become transnational, developing new identities and engaging in cultural and social practices from two different nations: India and the U.S. Against this background, the book describes the nature and extent of transnational practices adopted by high-tech Indian workers employed in the United States on temporary work visas. The study reveals that the temporary stay of these professionals and their families in the U.S. necessitates day-to-day balancing of two cultures in terms of food, clothing, recreation, and daily activities, creating a transnational lifestyle for these young professionals. Transnational activities at the workplace, which are forced by the work culture of the MNCs that employ them, can be considered as ?transnationalism from above.? Simultaneously, being bi-lingual at home, cooking and eating Indian and Western food, socializing with Indian and American friends outside work, and all the cultural activities they perform on a day-to-day basis, indicates ?transnationalism from below?. The book is of interest to researchers and academics working on issues relating to culture, social change, migration and development. 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aCulture 606 $aTechnology 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aRegionalism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912050 606 $aCulture and Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411180 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aRegionalism. 615 24$aCulture and Technology. 615 24$aMigration. 615 24$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 676 $a304.808991411 700 $aSarmistha$b Uma$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065184 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350224203321 996 $aTransnational Immigrants$92543696 997 $aUNINA
