The Punjabi Mexicans of America
Punjabi men in early 20th-century California, restricted by racist laws from marrying whites but allowed to marry other ‘brown’ groups, found lasting companionship in Mexican women. These unions weren’t just love stories they birthed a new community, fusing food, traditions, and names in farming towns from Yuba City to Texas. Both groups shared outsider status and built supportive, hybrid families, with Mexican wives often handling landholdings and households while children inherited rich bicultural roots.
