Every immigrant has many interesting stories to tell about coming to America and making it his new home. Bengali-speaking immigrants from the Indian subcontinent are a particularly rich source of fascinating life experiences as they have been coming to the US for over 130 years. While Bengali immigrants, like most other immigrants, had to work hard to succeed in their adopted homeland. some had to struggle to gain a foothold and found success to be elusive. A few had to face discrimination and racism while others found excellent opportunities to flourish as American citizens. This book presents a rich collection of real life stories, told by authors from different walks of life. Some of these life experiences are sweet, some are funny, while others are sad or bittersweet. But each, in its own way, is memorable. And these life experiences are set against the history of Asian immigration in America and the evolving societal attitudes towards non-white immigrants. Readers will find this collection of narratives and essays to be not only fascinating but also revealing of the hopes and aspirations, successes and failures of an important group of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent.
