With stories spanning from the 1780s to the present day and bringing together the voices of sixty-four authors, \u003cem\u003eOur Stories\u003c\/em\u003e is now in already more than 2,500 schools, libraries, and homes across the country.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSouth Asian America in the Classroom takes SAADA’s efforts one step further, by providing lesson plans that can be “dropped in” to an existing college-level course or included as part of a full syllabus, and which come with accompanying handouts, reading lists, and varied applications. Through this compendium, we hope to make it as straightforward as possible for educators to expose their students to the often-overlooked histories of South Asians in the United States—the more than 5.4 million individuals who trace their heritage to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and the many South Asian diaspora communities across the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Made by SAADA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42695640809672,"sku":"DE SAAITC","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2271\/5633\/files\/southasianamericaintheclassroom.jpg?v=1775055876","url":"https:\/\/madeby.saada.org\/products\/south-asian-america-in-the-classroom","provider":"Made by SAADA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
