Unwanted!
Unwanted! is the biography of Esther Mary Lyons. She lived through a time when many changes were taking place in the world. Many discoveries were being made which helped shape the present into a better world. Besides describing the culture and a time which can never come back, she describes her own pain and frustrations as she grew up as an illegitimate daughter of an American Jesuit priest, deserted and abandoned in India at the age of four. Her story takes readers to the past—through the history of India, the United States, and Australia—and then brings them back to the present when all things have changed. It also covers Irish migration to the United States in 1850s during the Potato Famine, French migration in the 1700s to Canada, and the establishment of Detroit City. In addition, Lyons describes incidents surrounding the creation of the atom bomb in the 1940s. The book also describes the involvement of Catholic priests in politics during World War II. It is a story of culture, history, and emotions.
Re-theorising the Indian Subcontinental Diaspora
It is estimated that more than 30 million people of Indian Subcontinental origin presently live outside their homeland. The present geo-political status of the Indian Subcontinental diaspora calls for more research and newer theorisation on how migrants from the Indian Subcontinent relocate, acculturate and renegotiate their identities in new host environments. This volume focuses on their historical, socio-cultural and economic patterns of migration and identity negotiation and formation within transnational discourses. While some of the chapters here focus on the nature of representations of the homeland and hostland in the works of Indian Subcontinental diasporic writers and film directors, others deal with the economic and historic aspects of the Indian Subcontinental diaspora. The book also includes chapters on women’s Kalapani crossings, liminal spaces, Anglo-Indian-Australian diaspora, Chinese-Indian-Canadian diaspora, and Indian Subcontinental-British home workers’ transnational space, ushering in a new era of diasporic identities.
The Truth Pill
Since 2004, when the fraud at Ranbaxy, the largest Indian pharmaceutical company at the time first came to light, the Indian pharmaceutical industry and clinical research organizations have been rocked by a series of scandals after investigations by American and European drug regulators. While the West has responded to concerns about quality of “Made in India” medicine by blocking exports from many Indian pharmaceutical companies, the Indian government responded not with regulatory reform but conspiracy theories about “vested interests” working against India. More worryingly, the Indian state has also turned a blind eye to a far more serious quality crisis in its domestic pharmaceuti...

Amish and Amish Mennonite Genealogies
This encyclopedia for Amish genealogists is certainly the most definitive, comprehensive, and scholarly work on Amish genealogy that has ever been attempted. It is easy to understand why it required years of meticulous record-keeping to cover so many families (144 different surnames up to 1850). Covers all known Amish in the first settlements in America and shows their lineage for several generations. (955pp. index. hardcover. Pequea Bruderschaft Library, revised edition 2007.)
