About the Author
Vivek Bald is a historian and writer whose work illuminates the untold stories of South Asian migration and the intersections of race, labor, and empire in modern America. Drawing from extensive archival research and oral histories, he explores how migrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and beyond have navigated exclusion, adaptation, and resistance amid U.S. global dominance. Bald's scholarship challenges conventional narratives of immigration, highlighting the agency of working-class communities often overlooked in mainstream histories. A professor of comparative media studies and writing at MIT, he bridges academia and activism, advocating for immigrant rights and cultural preservation. His incisive analysis continues to influence discussions on diaspora, identity, and power in an increasingly interconnected world.
