Beschreibung:
"An excellent, ethnographically rich study of the lives and practices of young South Asian Americans living in Silicon Valley, "Desi Land" lends itself to use in courses in fields including anthropology, cultural studies, gender studies, and Asian American studies. What I like best of all is that Shalini Shankar trains her lens on a particular generation's experience while providing us with a rich cultural history of life in Silicon Valley at the turn of the twenty-first century."--Purnima Mankekar, author of "Screening Culture, Viewing Politics: An Ethnography of Television, Womanhood, and Nation in Postcolonial India"
