The East Indian

by Brinda Charry

Amazon Editors' pick Best Literature & Fiction

An original work that imagines the life of the first Indian immigrant to come to the U.S. in the early 1600’s. Tony, who arrives in Jamestown, Virginia on a slave ship, sees early America through a unique lens since he’s neither black, white or native American. Fighting loneliness and rejection, he never loses sight of making the best of his new home and fulfill his dream to be a medicine man like his father. The East Indian is a story of hope and resilience by author Brinda Charry who specializes in English Renaissance Literature, and the early modern histories of race, globalization, and cross-cultural engagement as manifested in literary works.
