What It's Like to Grow Up as an Indian American
from Videoblogging - recent posts - blip.tv (beta) June 26, 2008
The Evolution of An Identity Indian American Immigrants from the Early 20th Century to the Present A Fictional Family History DIYA DAS Preserve native culture or assimilate into America's melting pot? Indian immigrants respond to this age old dilemma. Identity Crisis They are known as the turbaned tide. Novelist DIYA DAS explores the journey made by Indian immigrants from the subcontinent to America's shores. Weaving the narrative as historical fiction, the novel focuses on a young girl who uncovers the American roots of her Indian family tree. The story unfolds in three venues. The protagonist discovers a Californian ancestor, a scholar-turned-farmworker who participated in the 1917-18 Ghadr movement to gain Indian independence from Great Britain. She then follows the voyage of a doctor aunt who immigrated to Chicago in the 1970s and was also a newspaper columnist. Finally, the narrator explores how to merge her Indian and American identities as she attends a Hindu festival in New York City. The novel is filled with rich cultural details, solid historical references and fitting literary allusions. Diya's research ended up taking her on a personal journey. The narrator's odyssey mirrored that of the author. Where facts and imagination did not create a coherent story, Diya employed elements of her own life as a first generation Indian American immigrant. $9.95 ISBN:9780979504563 5.5" x 8.5" 92 pp 2007 Have a question or a comment for Diya Das?

04.17.08 Muslim or European?
from Global Pulse April 17, 2008
The integration of Muslims in Europe has been a difficult process marred by several events that have lead to protests worldwide. The knighthood of Salman Rushdie, Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammad, the release of a Dutch anti-Islam film, and an Anglican archbishop suggesting the introduction of Islamic Sharia law continue to divide Muslims and Europeans.

Assimilation - Robert D. Kerr
from popular posts - blip.tv (beta) December 08, 2007
Final experimental video project for Experimental Video and Multi-media. Any comments are welcome. Initially I was going to add more sound but decided against it after I experimented with it for a while. it felt too crowded with other sound in there besides the ambient track which I created. I may change some of the computer code sections so that they move more quickly to represent a sensory overload.
