Sandhu documents that beyond the visible successes of Asian Indians in the work sphere, spousal selection and the mobility of their new second generation are critical dimensions of their identities as elites. Sandhu extends and sharpens the concepts of cultural and social capital, processes of assimilation, and construction of identity to this understudied group. 410 0$aNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aEast Indians$zUnited States 606 $aProfessional employees$zUnited States 606 $aSuccess in business$zUnited States 615 0$aEast Indians 615 0$aProfessional employees 615 0$aSuccess in business 676 $a973.0491/4 700 $aSandhu$b Sabeen$f1977-$01806635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958369003321 996 $aAsian Indian professionals$94355922 997 $aUNINA
