I have just reviewed "Modern Migrations: Gujarati Indian Networks in New York & London" by Maritsa V Poros - ISBN 978-0-8047-7223-5 (pbk)(Standford University Press, 2011)- in the Journal of Immigration Asylum and Nationality Law (IANL, Vol 25, No. 1, 2011) which members may find worth reading. Maritsa Poros is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the City College of New York.

As the title of the book indicates, her study focuses on the phenomenon of the highly urbanised and successful Gujarati migrant networks of the West`s two largest metropolitan conurbations. She does however, as I point out in my review, dismiss "as a common cultural myth the claim by Gujaratis that business is in their blood", notwithstanding a great deal of the contrary "evidence buried in her own extensive bibliographical sources"! Anyway, judge for yourselves.
