Description
How the Patels from Gujarat Established The Hotel Business in California?
Surat to San Francisco is an interesting creation narrating how the Patels from Surat, Gujarat, established the hotel business in California from 1942 to 1960. The book is all about untold stories and historical narration depicting the genesis of the hospitality business of Patels.
The book has stories that remained untold thus far. As there was limited archival presence or primary sources of the Patel history since most of the pioneers are long gone, these stories had no one to carry forward to the next generation. Surat to San Francisco has personal stories and other details that history could not draw.
From Migration To Hotel Industry
In our humble opinion, the author has made a serious effort in collecting the information and brought the Patel pioneers to the forefront through this book. This book is based on personal experiences and interviews with Surati Patels and the families of the Panama and Trinidad Patels and Lottery Visa Winners. The Patels opened their hearts and heirlooms and welcomed the author to share their fathers’, grandfather’s, and uncles’ stories.
The Patels were so happy to see that some voices are given to their pioneering ancestors’ life stories that were being neglected and marginalized for a long time. Do read this to understand how Gujarati Patels migrated and expanded their hospitality business in San Francisco.
