In this moving and insightful work, Deepak Singh chronicles his
downward mobility as an immigrant to a small town in Virginia.
Armed with an MBA from India, Singh can get only a minimum-wage job
in an electronics store. Every day he confronts unfamiliar American
mores, from strange idioms to deeply entrenched racism. Telling
stories through the unique lens of an initially credulous outsider
who is "fresh off the plane," Singh learns about the struggles of
his colleagues: Ron, a middle-aged African-American man trying to
keep his life intact despite health concerns; Jackie, a young
African-American woman diligently attending school after work; and
Cindy, whose matter-of-fact attitude helps Deepak adapt to his job
and his new life. How May I Help You? is an incisive take on life
in the United States and a reminder that the stories of low-wage
employees can bring candor and humanity to debates about work,
race, and immigration.
