Book synopsis

Sikhs in Europe are neglected in the study of religions and migrant groups. Studies in past decades have focused on the history, culture and religious practices of Sikhs in North America and the UK, but few have focused on Sikhs in continental Europe. This book fills this gap, offering new empirical data and theoretical analyses of Sikhs in eleven European countries. Divided into three sections - Sikhs in Northern and Eastern Europe, Sikhs in Southern Europe, and Sikhs in UK and Ireland - this book examines the broader European presence of the Sikhs in new and old host countries. Focusing on patterns of migration, transmission of traditions, identity construction and cultural representations from the perspective of local Sikh communities in Europe, the authors explore general patterns of settlement, institution building and cultural transmission among the European Sikhs.
