Description
One of the most remarkable stories of immigration in the last half century is that of Indians to the United States.
People of Indian origin make up a little over one percent of the American population now, up from barely half a percent at the turn of the millennium.
Complete with a new epilogue, the paperback edition of The Other One Percent is a careful, data-driven, and comprehensive account of the three core processes-selection, assimilation, and entrepreneurship-that have led to this rapid rise.
This unique phenomenon is driven by-and, in turn, has influenced-wide-ranging changes, especially the ongoing revolution in information technology and its impact on economic globalization, immigration policies in the U.S., higher education policies in India, and foreign policies of both nations.
If the overall picture is one of economic success, the details reveal the critical issues faced by Indian immigrants.
