Book excerpt: Surat to San Francisco is the untold hospitality history of the Patel community, from its genesis to its gradual consolidation and expansion. The book chronicles how three founders, illegal farmhands in the San Joaquin farms of California, accidentally established the first hotel for their clan. Their names were Kanji Manchhu Desai, Nanalal Patel, and D. Lal. It was 1942 amid the backdrop of World War II. Desai, Patel, and Lal came across a hotel in Sacramento whereby the Japanese owner was forced to give up the hotel as she was on her way to an internment camp. They leased the 32-room Ford Hotel at firesale terms of $350 down and $75 per month. All three Patels were undocumented as America in the '20s, '30s, and '40s did not allow Indians to immigrate. A few years later, Kanji Desai shifted to the Mission District in San Francisco and leased the Hotel Goldfield. The Hotel Goldfield became the headquarters of new Patels, who came in search of the American dream. Desai welcomed them with open arms, sheltering, feeding, and guiding them. Over his meals of the Gujarati dish of khichdi and kadhi, Desai preached like an evangelist, saying, "There's nothing better here for you. If you are a Patel, lease a hotel." For several Patels, accepting this new line of business was not easy. But they faced racial discrimination trying to find other jobs. California in the 1940s was not as accepting of others' cultures and backgrounds. Eventually, many Patels bought into Desai's words. By 1954, the Desai had helped nearly 30 Patels and other Gujaratis to get into the hotel business. The book has the biographies of other Patel hoteliers and includes many rare photographs from the 1940s and 1950s.

Download or read book Plague written by Edward Marriott and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this recounting of medical and human history, Marriott takes us back to Hong Kong in the summer of 1894, when a diagnosis of plague brought two top scientists to the island--Alexandre Yersin, a lone, maverick French bacteriologist, and his eminent rival, the Japanese Shibasaburo Kitasato. Marriott interweaves his narrative of their competition to discover the plague's source with scenes of the scourge's persistence: California in 1900, when plague arrived in the United States; Surat, India, in 1994, where torrential floods drowned millions of rats, causing the worst outbreak in seventy years; and New York City, some time in the future, where there is a rat for every human being, a diminishing budget for pest control, and an emerging strain of plague that is resistant to antibiotics.--From publisher description.

Book Synopsis Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs in America by : Gurinder Singh Mann
Download or read book Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs in America written by Gurinder Singh Mann and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs in America explores the challenges that Asian immigrants face when their religion--and consequently culture--is "remade in the U.S.A." Peppered with stories of individual people and how they actually live their religion, this informative book gives an overview of each religion's beliefs, a short history of immigration--and discrimination--for each group, and how immigrants have adapted their religious beliefs since they arrived. Along the way, the roles of men and women, views toward dating and marriage, the relationship to the homeland, the "brain drain" from Asia of scientists, engineers, physicians, and other professionals, and American offshoots of Asian religions, such as the Hare Krishnas and Transcendental Meditation (TM), are discussed.

Book Synopsis Indonesian Notebook by : Brian Russell Roberts
Download or read book Indonesian Notebook written by Brian Russell Roberts and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Richard Wright's account of the 1955 Bandung Conference has been key to shaping Afro-Asian historical narratives, Indonesian accounts of Wright and his conference attendance have been largely overlooked. Indonesian Notebook contains myriad documents by Indonesian writers, intellectuals, and reporters, as well as a newly recovered lecture by Wright, previously published only in Indonesian. Brian Russell Roberts and Keith Foulcher introduce and contextualize these documents with extensive background information and analysis, showcasing the heterogeneity of postcolonial modernity and underscoring the need to consider non-English language perspectives in transnational cultural exchanges. This collection of primary sources and scholarly histories is a crucial companion volume to Wright'sThe Color Curtain.
