    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction An Indian in Washington India and America are located on opposite sides of the earth; therefore it is natural for America to think that we walk upside down, and for us to think that Americans walk upside down. —Pandita Ramabai, The Peoples of the United States (1889) The Sufferance of the Foreigner n late September 1905, the Indian nationalist Lajpat Rai had gathered with a group of tourists in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, when a guide directed Itheir attention to the works of art surrounding them. Plastered on the ceil- ing was The Apotheosis of Washington, a fresco featuring the first U.S. presi- dent on a celestial throne, flanked on each side by figures from classical Greco-Roman and nouveau American mythology (Figure I.1). Just below, The Frieze of American History encircled the rotunda with its selective time- line, and at eye level were enormous neoclassical canvases depicting scenes from the American Revolution and the conquest of the Americas. From ceil- ing to floor, the artwork of the Capitol presented a set of interwoven images that moved seamlessly from the mythological to the historical, containing within it, it would seem, a visual argument: The United States was the heir apparent of Western empire. At the dawn of the new century, as America extended its imperial reach across the globe, who would have thought to see otherwise? In Washington, DC, during a three-week tour of the East Coast, Lajpat Rai discussed his visit in an editorial for the Panjabee, an English-language weekly based out of Lahore.

Minority literature is generally read within a framework of resistance that prioritizes anti-hegemonic and anti-racist writings. I focus on a set of recalcitrant texts, written in the first part of the twentieth century, that do not fit neatly within this framework. My chapters trace an arc from Ameen Rihani’s !e Book of Khalid (1911), which personifies a universal citizen who refuses to be either Arab or American, to Paule Marshall’s Brown Girl, Brownstones (1959), which dramatizes the appeal of white identification for upwardly mobile Barbadian immigrants. I present the first comparative analysis of Afro-Caribbean, Arab, Filipino, Latino, and South Asian immigrant writings. !is archive includes familiar figures such as Claude McKay and William Carlos Williams as well as understudied writers such as Abraham Rihbany and Dalip Singh Saund.

  • Break Your Silence: a Call to Asian Indian Children's Writers
    Break Your Silence: A Call to Asian Indian Children’s Writers MEENAG. KHORANA ABSTRACT THISARTICLE EXAMINES THE children’s literature written in English by Asian Indian writers or their spouses who live, or have lived, in America.’ Only those books that are published in America are considered relevant. As new immigrants, Asian Indian children’s writers reflect the need to preserve their historical, social, and religious traditions for the younger generation. Hence, there is an abundance of traditional literature, fictional works, and informational books that reaffirm their intellectual and cultural roots in India. A comparative analysis of Chinese American and Japanese American children’s literature reveals that Indian literature is at an earlier developmental phase, and it is only in recent decades that Chinese and Japanese children’s authors have begun to focus on their historical and social experiences in America. As Indians become more settled in this country and as their numbers increase, it is hoped that their children’s literature will also evolve an Asian American consciousness that will reflect their experiences in American society. INTRODUCTION Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic minority in the United States today because of the liberalized immigration policy of 1965. With half of all immigrants coming from Asia, the Asian population increased 143 percent between 1970 and 1980, and by 1985 there were 5 million Asians in America or 2.1 percent of the total population (Takaki, 1989, p. 5). Asians first came to the United States Meena G. Khorana, Coppin State College, 2500 W. North Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21216 LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol.
