Our Stories
South Asian American stories are not taught in classrooms, found in textbooks, or reflected in popular media. We can change that.
For the last thirteen years, SAADA has worked to document, preserve, and share stories from the South Asian American community.
Now, for the first time, South Asian American stories can be on bookshelves in homes, schools, and libraries across the country.
With stories spanning from the 1780s to the present day and bringing together the voices of sixty-four authors, Our Stories: An Introduction to South Asian America demonstrates the diversity, vibrancy, and power of the South Asian American community.
