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. The experiences of Joshi's research participants reveal how race and religion interact, intersect, and affect each other in a society where Christianity and whiteness are the norm. Joshi shows how religion is racialized for Indian Americans and offers important insights in the wake of 9/11 and the backlash against Americans who look Middle Eastern and South Asian. 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. 606 $aEast Indian Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aEast Indian Americans$xReligion 606 $aEast Indian Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aReligious minorities$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aEthnicity$zUnited States 606 $aReligion and sociology$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEast Indian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aEast Indian Americans$xReligion. 615 0$aEast Indian Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aReligious minorities$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aEthnicity 615 0$aReligion and sociology 676 $a305.891/4073 700 $aJoshi$b Khyati Y.$f1970-$0999428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451878103321 996 $aNew roots in America's sacred ground$92447312 997 $aUNINA
