- Summary
- "Portrait of a Giving Community is based on a nationwide survey of the giving habits of Pakistani-Americans. This book provides a snapshot in time of a generous and giving community whose philanthropy has become increasingly 'American' without becoming any less 'Pakistani'. This study, the first of its kind, examines not only the history, demography and institutional geography of Pakistani-Americans but also looks at how this immigrant community manages its multiple identities through charitable giving and volunteering."--BOOK JACKET.
