Summary

"In this exciting book, Shalini Shankar writes about Desi teens in Silicon Valley with deep sympathy, humor, and genuine insight. The high-school students come alive through ethnographic detail, and yet Shankar's analysis is sharp and thought provoking. Her theoretically sophisticated approach to diversity makes an important contribution to urban anthropology. I will recommend this book to everyone I know--scholars, educators, and advocates--who works with twenty-first-century youth."--Jan English-Lueck, author of "Cultures@SiliconValley"
