Suburban Sahibs: Three Immigrant Families and Their Passage from India to America

Rating:
Summary: Articles better than book
Review: I bought this book because I was very impressed with Kalita via her Newsday pieces. Unfortunately, this book doesn't carry the same comparative cultural insight that is a hallmark of her other writing. Read it and if you're going to buy anything, buy the Washington Post.

Rating:
Summary: A very ordinary writing..
Review: I was told by a co worker to buy this one to encourage this author. But the content was very ordinary, any DESI (indian who has settled or lives in the united states) will find it ordinary. This does not display the thinking,attitude and the real story of what immigrants go through, perhaps only those who go through this could have helped the author potray the truth.

Rating:
Summary: a multi-generational perspective on immigration
Review: it reads like a novel but you come away actually learning something. by the end of the book, i felt like i had really gotten to know each of the characters, the place they lived and gotten some real insight into a community.
