Produktbeschreibung
In "Down With the Brown," Hilal Nakiboglu
Isler describes the coming of age rituals and
processes which help define the contemporary college
experience for second generation Indian American
students. She chronicles how this population
navigates cultural fields both off campus and on it
(at the University of Pennsylvania), in the forging
of a collective identity. Isler considers how these
students engage campus spaces and use University
resources in the crafting, sharing, and performance
of their experience as second generation Americans.
She explores the role of the Model Minority Myth,
and documents these students'' post 9-11 lives--
including the impact of hate crimes and acts of bias.
Isler''s ethnographic work tells the stories of Indian
American youth, the struggles they contend with; the
fluid, rich identities they perform, and the college,
career, and other life decisions they make on their
journey to adulthood.
