FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book provides insight into the unique challenges facing Indian and South Asian immigrants in the West—particularly in the United States. It explores the "baggage" they carry; their expectations versus the realities of negotiating a new cultural, social, religious, and economic milieu; nostalgia and idealization of the past; and the hybridity of existence. Within this context, the author discusses factors which often contribute to intergenerational family conflict among this population. Jacob asserts that this conflict is largely a product of differences in cultural values and identity, acculturation stress, and the experience of marginality.
