AlbakiReads Editorial

A data-driven account of Indian migration and influence in the United States

Sanjoy Chakravorty examines the growth of the Indian-origin population in the United States through three connected lenses: migrant selection, assimilation, and entrepreneurship. The book places this demographic change within larger shifts in information technology, globalized economies, U.S. immigration policy, Indian higher education, and relations between the two countries. While economic achievement forms part of the picture, the account also addresses the significant issues confronting Indian immigrants, complicating any single narrative of upward mobility. A new epilogue accompanies this paperback edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Asian American and immigration studies
  • Those seeking a data-centered view of Indian American demographic and economic change
  • Readers studying globalization, technology, and migration policy

Book overview

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.
