520    "N this moving and insightful work, Deepak Singh 
       chronicles his downward mobility as an immigrant to a 
       small town in Virginia. Armed with an MBA from India, 
       Singh can get only a minimum-wage job in an electronics 
       store. Every day he confronts unfamiliar American mores, 
       from strange idioms to deeply entrenched racism. Telling 
       stories through the unique lens of an initially credulous 
       outsider who is "fresh off the plane," Singh learns about 
       the struggles of his colleagues: Ron, a middle-aged 
       African-American man trying to keep his life intact 
       despite health concerns; Jackie, a young African-American 
       woman diligently attending school after work; and Cindy, 
       whose matter-of-fact attitude helps Deepak adapt to his 
       job and his new life. How May I Help You? is an incisive 
       take on life in the United States and a reminder that the 
       stories of low-wage employees can bring candor and 
       humanity to debates about work, race, and immigration."--

520    "How May I Help You? is Deepak Singh's insightful and 
       thought-provoking account of disillusionment when, as an 
       educated upper-class Indian, he moves with his American 
       wife to the United States and discovers that America 
       doesn't care if he has an MBA from India or had worked for
       the BBC. Like many immigrants before him, Singh discovers 
       that in America employers only trust him with a minimum 
       wage job as a clerk, but his disappointment and 
       embarrassment soon give way to shock when he realizes that
       in this world of low-wage work he is joined not merely by 
       other immigrants, but by many Americans, a whole swath of 
       the citizenry who goes unacknowledged and unassisted in 
       their struggles to make a living wage. In sincere and 
       straightforward prose, Singh takes the reader along on his
       journey full of dismay and compassion when the 
       expectations he had of the United States, built around 
       interactions in India with well-educated, affluent 
       expatriates, collide with the reality of a coworker who 
       must skip lunch until payday and the customers who buy in 
       anticipation of a paycheck."--Provided by publisher.
