Dr. Prema Kurien is Professor of Sociology at Syracuse University. She is a scholar of international migration, race, ethnicity, and religion. She adopts a transnational approach in her work and has also done research in India, to show how a variety of global factors, including developments in the country of origin, play a profound role in shaping community structures, cultures, and activism profiles of immigrants and even the second generation. Her work has been recognized with two career awards, three book awards, and three article awards, and she has received postdoctoral fellowships and grants from a wide variety of sources.
Prema Kurien has written an enlightening book full of rich material on how Indian and South Asian activists become politically engaged in the United States. Providing careful, insightful, and in-depth analysis, Claiming Citizenship sheds new light on the role of religious, caste, and racial differences as well as transnational connections in immigrant and second-generation political mobilization. * Nancy Foner, author of One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America * At a time when Indian Americans are making an increasing impact in American politics, Prema Kurien has written an impressive book about how the South Asian and Indian US population has developed and expanded its civic participation. As a sociologist of religion, I found the book especially helpful in providing a strong argument about the distinctive ways in which race and religion have shaped this important development in our nation's public life. * Robert Wuthnow, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University *
