April 7, 2007 / 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Blue Stockings, 172 Allen Street between Stanton and Rivington,
New York, NY

From Bluestockings:

“Unruly Immigrants: Rights, Activism, and Transnational South Asian Politics in the United States” documents the strategies that South Asian feminist, queer and labor organizations in the United States have developed to establish rights for immigrants without the security of citizenship. Importantly, Das Gupta documents challenges to the view of South Asians as ‘model minorities’ from both within and outside their communities.
