    • Summary:A Social History of South Asians in British Columbia endeavors to record and share South Asian Canadian history in a manner that is publicly appealing, authentic and historically accurate. As an oral collectivist community, South Asians have relied on the vibrant storytelling of their ancestors. The South Asian Legacy Project team mined the archives for their stories, trials, tribulations, successes, and pride-filled moments, recording it in a book for present and future generations. This work is a legacy of these giants that paved the way for all of us today.--Adapted from publisher's description.
