Conquering America: Bharati Mukherjee

Bharati Mukherjee writes vivid, sensual, and troubling stories about America’s newest immigrants, Asians like herself. Mukherjee’s early novels spoke from India, the old world she left behind to marry an American. Upon arriving in America she set out to capture the New World experiences of Asian immigrants. In this program with Bill Moyers, Mukherjee discusses America’s newest immigrants and the building resentment and tensions between our country’s various cultures. "We’ve come to America," she says, "in a way, to take over. To help build a new culture." (30 minutes)
