Punjabi immigrant mobility in the United Statesadaptation through race and class /[electronic resource] :Diditi Mitra. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource.

Introduction -- Negotiating the State: Hoping to Belong -- Looking for work: Punjabi Choices and Punjabi Options -- On the Wheels of Race and Class -- Managing Subordination, Becoming Americans -- Conclusion.

How did so many Punjabi immigrants come to find themselves behind the wheels of so many New York City taxi cabs, and what do their stories have to teach us about how immigrants must navigate life in a new society? Diditi Mitra analyzes how race and class influence settlement patterns in the United States, based on her extensive interviews with 59 Punjabi taxi drivers, organizers of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, laywers who represent drivers in taxi courts, owners of taxi fleets, and an official of the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission. What emerges is an unprecedented exploration into how society shapes the 'choices' made by immigrants as they adapt to America.

520 $a "The Punjabis, people from the Indian state of the Punjab, had formed a niche in the New York taxi industry for nearly two decades. In those decades, the turbans of the Sikhs, who dominated the industry, and yellow cabs were inseparable. Yet, little is known about their immigration journey. From the moment of their arrival to their gradual adaptation to America is the focus of this book. And, as the Punjabi story unfolds, not only do we learn about them, we also learn about the yellow industry as well as better understand the society to which the Punjabis immigrated"-- $c Provided by publisher.
