• W4206224456 abstract "660 OHQ vol. 117, no. 4 eral laws had a profound impact on migration, as the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 (misspelled “Cellar” in the book) removed barriers to immigration throughout South Asia by eliminating the quota system based on national origins (a holdover from the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921) and establishing preference visa categories that emphasized immigrants’ employment skills as well as family reunification. Changes in national perceptions about nonwhites and immigrants following the civil rights movement did not remove the vestiges of racism, sexism, and religious intolerance, even in a nominally liberal place like Seattle, where the sometimes harsh realities of diversity spurred the creation of social justice organizations. Such support networks are today more interethnic and intergenerational than ever before, likely a consequence of the reprehensible post-9/11 attacks on Muslims, Sikhs, and other South Asians and Middle Easterners — a disgusting xenophobia that has, regrettably, persisted in today’s America. It is somewhat unfortunate that this study did not grapple more directly with working-class experiences. Not only has this subject always been of interest to scholars of immigration, race and ethnicity, and community formation, but in today’s sociopolitical climate, it has never been more relevant. The authors rightly acknowledge the limitations of oral history in this regard, as their narrators are primarily India-based women and men with college experience and proficiency in the English language. As a result, their trajectories tell us more about immigrants in major corporations such as IBM, Microsoft, and the Boeing Company, and about the paths of educated professionals, than they do about the workers who, one might speculate, likewise contributed in significant ways to the shaping of South Asian communities around Seattle. Readers may question how representative these oral histories are of the broader South Asian experience in the Pacific Northwest. Nonetheless, it should be noted that Bhatt and Iyer’s analysis of community-generated sources in tandem with academic and popular literature reveals an intriguing history of struggle and achievement, discrimination and activism, and the cultural walls and bridges that are as salient today as they were in early decades of the twentieth century. Amy Laly, who was born in Jhansi, India, in 1947 and relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 1966, expressed this rather prophetically after twenty-five years with Boeing. Laly balanced her painful experience with gender and racial discrimination with work that she found stimulating and rewarding: “There are so many Americas in this country, and one has to learn to navigate between disparate realities. That’s what makes living here so vibrant. But understanding the roots of bigotry helps to challenge the myths that people hold” (p. 133).

Photographs, index. 192 pages. $18.95, paper. TOWARD A NATURAL FOREST: THE FOREST SERVICE IN TRANSITION (A MEMOIR) by Jim Furnish Oregon State University Press, Corvallis, Oregon, 2015. Illustrations, map, notes, index. 224 pages. $19.95, paper. $11.99, e-book. “The West infected my soul,” writes Jim Furnish in Toward a Natural Forest (p. 13). Susan Marsh, author of A Hunger for High Country, must have felt the same contagion, as she recalls: “Montana had long glowed like a votive in my heart” (p. 11). In a poignant beginning to her memoir, Marsh describes dropping to her knees and forearms, forehead pressed “into the soft, forgiving earth, clutching tufts of alpine rush as if their wiry strength would” hold her, as she mourns her impending exit from the Gallatin National Forest in 1988. This is a taste of the rhythmic, lilting, and often poetic language Marsh uses to describe her thirty-year career with the U.S. Forest Service. Furnish, who joined the agency in 1965, ten years earlier than Marsh, writes in a prosaic, straightforward style that is also lyrical at times. Reflecting on his early years 661 Reviews in the Forest Service, Furnish opines: “I held in my soul the stirring of a land ethic, new to me” (p. 80). Together, these two memoirs provide alternative views, both personal and professional..." @default.
