Abstract:

"Bharati Mukherjee writes vivid, sensual, and troubling stories about America's newest immigrants, Asians like herself. Mukherjee's early novels spoke from India, the old world she left behind to marry an American. Upon arriving in America she set out to capture the New World experiences of Asian immigrants. 'We've come to America,' she says in this program with Bill Moyers, 'in a way, to take over. To help build a new culture.'"
