Description
“Within hours of the 9/11 attacks, a rash of violence broke out against Sikhs and other South Asians. It was a painful moment of awakening for a diverse group of people who had migrated to the United States since the mid-1960s - and It signaled the start of a more suspicious, and Increasingly fearful, worldview that would drastically change ideas of belonging in America. In UNCLE SWAMI, Vijay Prashad continues the conversation sparked by his celebrated book The Karma of Brown Folk - a clear-sighted assessment of a fast-changing people and world” (Times Literary Supplement) – confronting the experience of migration across an expanse of generations and class, from the birth of political activism among second-generation immigrants and the meteoric rise of South Asian American politicians In Republican circles to new waves of migrant workers who scrape by at the mercy of the American free market. With Prushad’s trademark passion and depth of thinking, UNCLE SWAMI is a powerful assessment of cultural and racial politics in America at the dawn of the twenty-first century.” BOOK JACKET
