The "Click This to Look Inside" link above this book's image leads to the wrong book! Since this is an excellent book, please repair the problem so potential readers can get a taste of Alexander's writing.

The book is about diasporic postcolonial experience. has its contents and description under title listed wrong!! The actual book is an amazing study of language, immigrant identity, and gender.
