Description
-
Cover of the June 2015 issue of India Currents (Vol. 29, No. 3), featuring the story “Black and Desi: A Shared History” by Anirvan Chatterjee. This issue explores more than a century of solidarity between Black Americans and South Asian immigrants — from early civil rights collaborations to contemporary activism.
The cover image, depicting two elders from African American and South Asian communities holding hands, symbolizes intergenerational connection and shared struggle. The issue foregrounds narratives of mutual support, anti-racism, migration, and coalition-building — themes especially relevant in the Bay Area’s diverse and politically engaged landscape.
Additional featured articles include:
“Seeking Kabir in Malwa” by Jayaram Malathy
“A Stroke of Luck?” by Harshad Rajani
“Picking Waste” by Anita Felicelli
Published during India Currents’ 29th year, the issue reflects the magazine’s commitment to amplifying cross-cultural dialogue, intersectional histories, and community advocacy.
