On July 21, 2009 Minal Hjratwala vsitied WCRC as part of our BrownBag series to read from her book Leaving India: My Family's Journey from Five Villages to Five Continents. In this historical memoir, Minal weaves the story of her family's migration into the larger fabric of international economic and immigration policies and practices. The result is a unique portrait of the Indian Diaspora making connections between personal choice and the forces of history.
