In The Paradoxes of Indian American Complicity: On the Racial
Sidelines, Kavitha Koshy offers a timely exploration of Indian
immigrant racialization at the turn of the twenty-first century.
The book is a call to action for an anti-racist, decolonial
practice among differentially racialized peoples. Through
twenty-three in-depth interviews, Koshy captures the unique
experience of Indian American racial complicity on the sidelines of
race. The findings of the research uncover the paradoxes of
claiming the sidelines and deracialized, neoliberal identities,
while engaging in racial contestation; benefiting from selective
immigration while occupying a racialized-human capital-labor "slot"
in global capitalism; and experiencing "racialized otherness"
through everyday racism, both interpersonal and structural, despite
proximity to whiteness. Koshy develops a typology of Indian
immigrant racialized subjectivity amid anti-Blackness, whiteness,
caste-ness, Islamophobia, "forever foreignness," and neoliberal
logic. Through a recognition of the varied iterations of racial
capital, the book attempts to suture the disconnect between
different Indian immigrant cohorts. Through thought-provoking
reflections about her own immigrant journey and observations of the
US racialized terrain, Koshy locates herself among the narratives
of research participants, moving between analysis and reflection
throughout the book.
