Join us for a conversation with Deepa Iyer, whose new book, We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future, explores issues of racial identities and solidarities as the demographics in America quickly change. Deepa will discuss the environment 14 years after 9/11 and the challenges ahead through the stories of young South Asian, Arab, Muslim and Sikh activists.

Deepa, currently a Senior Fellow at the Center for Social Inclusion, is the former director of South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) and Activist-in-Residence at the University of Maryland’s Asian American Studies program. Deepa’s talk at the University of Michigan will be followed by a book signing. Learn more about the book at www.deepaiyer.com and @dviyer.

This event is made possible through the generous support from the Arab and Muslim American Studies (a constituent unit of the Dept. of American Culture), Center for South Asian Studies, The Department of American Culture, and Michigan Sikh Studies Forum.
