Too often, when recounting our community's journey to America, we overlook their everyday experiences. Safar beautifully shows how generations of Sikhs-and Sikh women in particular-have made their homes in North America and stayed connected to their ancestors and to their homelands in Punjab through food, culture, tradition, all while building an inclusive community.

Simran Jeet Singh, national best-selling author, "The Light We Give"

In Safar, food becomes a map of movement, survival, and connection, carrying the stories of Punjabi women whose lives quietly reshaped the American West. It is one of those books that pulls you in and then stays with you. In a time when migration feels taboo and the word immigrant can carry so much weight, Safar is exactly the kind of book the world needs right now. It is a humanization of the stories of migration and a reminder of the resounding humanity that exists within every journey.

Safar is a singular memoir, full of stories about migration, love, and food-three elements that can form worlds. Madhushree Ghosh gives us tales of people from India and Mexico, their descendants, and their new American family recipes-of tacos and curry, tortillas and roti.
