About the Book

Asian Indians who immigrate to the United States late in life to reunite with their children often form a secluded community. As one of the most under-researched segments of the population, very little is known about their lives. This new study, therefore, intends to create a small opening in the closed walls that surround the community and give us all a glimpse into their world. Lack of research forces service providers to treat this population with relative ignorance of their underlying foundations. Through the exploration of multiple dimensions of this growing ethnic minority group, this book greatly contributes to the multicultural counseling field. With depleted social capital, resulting isolation, and other problems that affect quality of life, these seniors would greatly benefit with the design of programs specifically targeted toward them. The first study of its kind, this enlightening book addresses the needs of this poorly understood community. Asian Indian Older Adults in Silicon Valley is based off of dissertation research on this secluded community. A definitive resource in understanding what contributes to the successful aging of this ethnic minority population, the book sheds light on the multiple risks of aging and immigration late in life. Proving to be extremely useful to a multitude of people, this educational study could be utilized by seniors and their families, service providers such as counselors, therapists, and mental health professionals, researchers, and government and policy-making bodies that deal with the ever-changing demographics of our country. A multifaceted and multipurpose new book, Asian Indian Older Adults in Silicon Valley is perhaps one of the most useful tools that proponents of this population group have ever had.
About the Author: Born and raised in a patriarchal Indian society, Dr. Anita Jhunjhunwala Mukherjee strived from an early age to find her identity beyond the predefined gender roles. After her three years at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, led her to her dream of being a computer engineer, Dr. Mukherjee went to the Iowa State University to complete her master's. Returning to India to be an entrepreneur, she worked in the software industry of different countries for many years. After moving to Silicon Valley, she volunteered with a number of non-profit organizations, and while working extensively with at-risk population, a desire to acquire the necessary professional tools propelled her to complete a doctorate in counseling psychology. This enables her to work for the causes that she believes in, and further the need to focus on mental health and quality of life rather than physical health and material possessions. Her research was featured on the award winning television show "Chai with Manjula" (www.chaiwithmanjula.com/media/SeniorsfromIndia.html) aired on public channels in the Bay Area in 2012.
