Leaving India: My Family's Journey from Five Villages to Five Continents Details
*An inspiring personal saga that explores the collisions of choice and history that led one unforgettable family—and millions of others from India—to become immigrants.*\\As the daughter of immigrants and the granddaughter of weavers, Minal Hajratwala grew up accustomed to crossing lines. In this groundbreaking work, she weaves together history, memoir, and reportage to explore questions facing not only her own family but that of every migrant: Where did we come from? Why did we leave? What did we lose and gain? \\Traveling the world, she learns how her family, originally from India, came to be spread across five continents and nine countries over more than a century of migration — a movement that parallels the phenomenal growth of India's diaspora. \\Through the lives of her kin in Fiji, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand, and through the story of Minal's own parents' accidental immigration to the United States, LEAVING INDIA delves into the relationship between personal choice and the sweeping historical forces that have led Indians to migrate, often again and again. \\This page-turning and lyrical book of narrative nonfiction leads us to reflect on the universally resonant story of what it means to leave one home and choose another — both for those who do the leaving, and for their descendants. \\LEAVING INDIA won a Pen Center USA Award, Lambda Literary Award, California Book Award, and Asian American Writers Workshop Award.
