What emerges is an unprecedented exploration into how society shapes the 'choices' made by immigrants as they adapt to America.

520 $a "The Punjabis, people from the Indian state of the Punjab, had formed a niche in the New York taxi industry for nearly two decades. In those decades, the turbans of the Sikhs, who dominated the industry, and yellow cabs were inseparable. Yet, little is known about their immigration journey. From the moment of their arrival to their gradual adaptation to America is the focus of this book. And, as the Punjabi story unfolds, not only do we learn about them, we also learn about the yellow industry as well as better understand the society to which the Punjabis immigrated"-- $c Provided by publisher.
