About this book

Bengali Harlem and the Lost Histories of South Asian America by Bald, Vivek. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780674066663.

Nineteenth-century Muslim peddlers arrived at Ellis Island, bags heavy with silks from their villages in Bengal. Demand for “Oriental goods” took these migrants on a curious path, from New Jersey’s boardwalks to the segregated South. Bald’s history reveals cross-racial affinities below the surface of early twentieth-century America.
