Copertina di Vivek Bald: Bengali Harlem and the Lost Histories of South Asian America (ePUB)

Nineteenth-century Muslim peddlers arrived at Ellis Island, bags heavy with embroidered silks from their villages in Bengal. Demand for Oriental goods took these migrants on a curious path, from New Jersey s boardwalks into the segregated South. Bald s history reveals cross-racial affinities below the surface of early twentieth-century America.
