Anti-Blackness in a Brown World – India Currents

In the latest issue of India Currents I write about my experience as a south Asian mother coming to grips with the issues around racism and casteism. Even as South Asians are trying to overcome the model minority myth largely led by their children, it is these young people who point out that personal discomfort is a small price to pay for social change.
