  2. Hi Tanya - the book looks great! I wound encourage you to consider including information about the Asian Indian experience (e.g. Bhagat Singh Thind and Punjabis in California) to your section on race and citizenship, particularly how these policies influenced the definition of "Aryan" in the early 20th century.

    1. Thanks, Bhoomi. Chapter 2 includes an in-depth discussion of Thind's case, mostly drawing from White by Law.

  4. You have good articles here! If anyone here is looking for a loan @ 2% rate in return to buy a home or other financing needs, I want you to contact Mr Pedro On pedroloanss@gmail.com When I was introduced to Mr. Pedro at the market watch seminar, I was entering the market as a first time buyer. Naturally,my needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions. Before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward. I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process of Mr Pedro loan offer. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories. I recommend him to anyone looking for a loan. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely
