The Other One Percent: Indians in America
Sanjoy Chakravorty, Devesh Kapur, Nirvikar Singh
(A new book from Oxford University Press NY, 2016)
People of Indian origin—whether they are Indian-born or American-born—make up about 1% of the U.S. population. While there are several anecdotal and journalistic accounts of Indians in America as well as scholarly studies on specific sub-groups of the population, The Other One Percent, co-authored by CASI Director, Devesh Kapur, is the first data-driven comprehensive account of the community.
