520    "In the final years of the nineteenth century, small 
       groups of Muslim peddlers arrived at Ellis Island every 
       summer, bags heavy with embroidered silks from their home 
       villages in Bengal. The American demand for 'Oriental 
       goods' took these migrants on a curious path, from New 
       Jersey's beach boardwalks into the heart of the segregated
       South. Two decades later, hundreds of Indian Muslim seamen
       began jumping ship in New York and Baltimore, escaping the
       engine rooms of British steamers to find less brutal work 
       onshore. As factory owners sought their labor and anti-
       Asian immigration laws closed in around them, these men 
       built clandestine networks that stretched from the 
       northeastern waterfront across the industrial Midwest. The
       stories of these early working-class migrants vividly 
       contrast with our typical understanding of immigration. 
       Vivek Bald's meticulous reconstruction reveals a lost 
       history of South Asian sojourning and life-making in the 
       United States. At a time when Asian immigrants were 
       vilified and criminalized, Bengali Muslims quietly became 
       part of some of America's most iconic neighborhoods of 
       color, from Tremé in New Orleans to Detroit's Black Bottom
       , from West Baltimore to Harlem. Many started families 
       with Creole, Puerto Rican, and African American women. As 
       steel and auto workers in the Midwest, as traders in the 
       South, and as halal hot dog vendors on 125th Street, these
       immigrants created lives as remarkable as they are 
       unknown. Their stories of ingenuity and intermixture 
       challenge assumptions about assimilation and reveal cross-
       racial affinities beneath the surface of early twentieth-
       century America."--The dust-jacket front flap.
