Harbingers of Global Change: India’s Techno-Iimmigrants in the United States

Harbingers of Global Change enriches a revealing case study of a little-understood group of immigrants with the contemplation of broader social dynamics, including assimilation, acculturation, and the persistence of racial and ethnic prejudice. Varma offers more than a much needed addition to the emergent literature on the plight of international immigration-professionals; Harbingers provides a visionary look at where global society is headed in the twenty-first century, an epoch in which all human beings may become foreigners in the virtual techno-marketplace.

Roli Varma is currently Regents Lecturer and associate professor in the School of Public Administration at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.
