Surat to San Francisco is the untold hospitality history of the Patel community, from its genesis to its gradual consolidation and expansion. The book chronicles how three founders, illegal farmhands in the San Joaquin farms of California, accidentally established the first hotel for their clan. Their names were Kanji Manchhu Desai, Nanalal Patel, and D. Lal. It was 1942 amid the backdrop of World War II. Desai, Patel, and Lal came across a hotel in Sacramento whereby the Japanese owner was forced to give up the hotel as she was on her way to an internment camp. They leased the 32-room Ford Hotel at firesale terms of $350 down and $75 per month. All three Patels were undocumented as America in the '20s, '30s, and '40s did not allow Indians to immigrate. A few years later, Kanji Desai shifted to the Mission District in San Francisco and leased the Hotel Goldfield. The Hotel Goldfield became the headquarters of new Patels, who came in search of the American dream. Desai welcomed them with open arms, sheltering, feeding, and guiding them. Over his meals of the Gujarati dish of khichdi and kadhi, Desai preached like an evangelist, saying, "There's nothing better here for you. If you are a Patel, lease a hotel." For several Patels, accepting this new line of business was not easy. But they faced racial discrimination trying to find other jobs. California in the 1940s was not as accepting of others' cultures and backgrounds. Eventually, many Patels bought into Desai's words. By 1954, the Desai had helped nearly 30 Patels and other Gujaratis to get into the hotel business. The book has the biographies of other Patel hoteliers and includes many rare photographs from the 1940s and 1950s.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

San Francisco's F-Line is the fun way to ride transit in one of America's greatest cities. Using multi-colored streetcars, built in the 1940s, 1920s and even earlier, it is a transforming experience that carries the rider back to a more genteel and carefree time, while providing an efficient and pleasant way to get from here to there in a modern era. Its creation has shown the world that public transportation can be exciting, fun, and a source of civic pride. The author, an active participant in the success of the F-Line, has written the book in an upbeat and breezy style, sprinkling anecdotes drawn from his own experiences and those of fellow workers and participants throughout the book. In this way, the book will appeal not only to those who are in, or follow, the transit industry, but also to the average reader, rider, and San Francisco Bay Area resident. Anyone who rides the F-Line will get a much fuller appreciation of this great city. This book has 290 pages with over 500 color and black-and-white photographs.

Buddhists, Hindus, and Sikhs in America explores the challenges that Asian immigrants face when their religion--and consequently culture--is "remade in the U.S.A." Peppered with stories of individual people and how they actually live their religion, this informative book gives an overview of each religion's beliefs, a short history of immigration--and discrimination--for each group, and how immigrants have adapted their religious beliefs since they arrived. Along the way, the roles of men and women, views toward dating and marriage, the relationship to the homeland, the "brain drain" from Asia of scientists, engineers, physicians, and other professionals, and American offshoots of Asian religions, such as the Hare Krishnas and Transcendental Meditation (TM), are discussed.
