Download Not Fit to Stay Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the early 1900s, panic over the arrival of South Asian immigrants swept up and down the west coast of North America. While racism and fear of labour competition were at the heart of this furor, public leaders – including physicians, union leaders, civil servants, journalists, and politicians – latched on to unsubstantiated public health concerns to justify the exclusion of South Asians from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. Not Fit to Stay examines how and why South Asians were excluded from immigration through legislation that took effect in Canada and the United States in the early twentieth century. This book is an important study of how white North Americans saw first-wave South Asian immigrants as separate from, and inferior to, other groups in the evolving racial hierarchy on the west coast of North America.

Download Saaya Unveiled Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Saaya Unveiled: South Asian Mental Health Spotlighted shares the true stories of second-generation Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi immigrants who navigate mental health in the West- the U.S. U.K., and Canada. Each featured interviewee discusses how destigmatizing mental health became their fight, and how they're bridging the gap of access, education, and acceptance between generations. From topics like identity, culture, socialization, academia, love, loss, and trauma, each unique story unveils a part of the shadow (saaya) of mental health in South Asian diaspora. Wisconsin based Indian-American writer Mrinal Gokhale has a special interest in psychology and wellness, and has finally published a book around these topics. As a former freelance journalist, she has worked for minority owned publications in Milwaukee, the most segregated city in the U.S. Though she has covered many events on Mental Health Awareness Month in the Black and Hispanic communities, she felt there was lack of education surrounding Asian mental health, and strived to change that. Her aim is to help other South Asians navigating mental health journeys in the Western part of the world feel less alone, and to promote education and acceptance of mental health in South Asian communities.

"The authors are to be commended for a book which should be very helpful for mental health professionals taking care of South Asian patients. The book uses case histories to illustrate a range of issues, which may come up in the treatment of this ethno-cultural group. The cases cut across genders, age groups, socioeconomic groups, diagnostic categories, and other clinical matters pertaining to abuse and domestic violence among South Asians born in South Asia and in the United States. The cases illustrate issues related to immigration, acculturation, stigma, access to care, and familial and intergenerational problems. The cases make teaching points about the impact of culture on clinical presentation and treatment, focusing on how culture and religion can be both a hindrance and an asset. The authors describe how to use cultural understanding in diagnosis and treatment" (Iqbal Ahmed MD, FRCPsych, UK).
