Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...evocative vignettes and inspiring stories from many of California's South Asian American citizens..." Paul Michael Taylor, Director, Asian Cultural History Program, Smithsonian Institution. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, adventurous travelers left the Punjab in India to seek their fortune in California and beyond. Laboring in farms, fields and orchards for low wages while enduring racial discrimination, they strove to put down roots in their new home. Bhagat Singh Thind, an immigrant who served in the United States Army, had his citizenship granted and revoked twice before a 1936 law expanded naturalization to all World War I veterans, regardless of race. Dalip Singh Saund obtained a master's degree and doctorate in mathematics from UC Berkeley only to return to farming when no one would hire him. In 1956, Saund went on to become the first Asian elected to the U.S. Congress. Ethnic South Asians are now found in every trade and profession in the United States, including the Office of the Vice President. Descendants of the first Punjabi immigrants from Yuba City to the Imperial Valley still farm, adding to the rich tapestry of the Central Valley. Author Lea Terhune recounts the risks, setbacks and persistence of the people who achieved their American dreams.

Book excerpt: The book Sikhs of New Jersey: The Pioneers from Punjab travels throughmore than a century of time. It escorts the reader back to thestruggles of pioneer Sikhs who suffered torture and racial discrimination at the hands of Canadian and West Coast Americans whiletrying to establish themselves as a SikhAmerican immigrant community. Indian Sikhmigration to the East Coast of America wasmore favorable because of the relaxed immigration laws, and the migrants to that area were educated, thus allowing them to pursue higher education and better career opportunities. is book clearly describes how a handful of New Jersey Sikh families established a vibrantcommunity and a place of worship through their farsightedness, determination and valor in the early 1970s. The internal confl icts of the SikhGurdwara management, the writer points out, are in no way unique to the Sikhs; they inflict all religious places. Even though the author rarely suggests solutions, she is hoping that the younger, educated generation will takea proactive lead in the management of theirGurdwaras and find answers to the challenges which they will face in the future. It is no coincidence that the publication of this book is occurring in the year 2019, the year of the 550th birth celebration of Guru Nanak. It is intendedto bring home the universal message of Baba Nanak to all humanity that Ik On Kaar-the same light-spirit prevails in each of us and LOVE is the way to reach within!!!Surinder Kaur Puar is also the author of Lightof Santpura, Mother's Day Bliss and PunjabiLanguage Simplifi ed. She hopes to inspire all other Sikh Gurdwara Sangat and Interfaith Communities to write their own stories to preserve their past for future generations!
