Sikhs Across Borders is the first study to explore patterns of
transnational practices among European Sikhs, with particular focus on
the links between the Sikhs in Europe, Punjab (the 'home-land') and
within a global Sikh community. The book illustrates how local and
transnational spheres coexist and interact in a multitude of social
and cultural practices and discourses among European Sikhs past and
present. Based on new empirical research Sikhs Across Borders book
explores how religion continues to play a significant role in the
daily lives of European Sikhs and is important for their maintenance
of links with the homeland, as well as Sikhs in other parts of the
world. The team of international contributors show how Sikhs are
shaping new self-representations and identity constructions through a
multitude of transnational practices on the individual, national and
global level, such as marriages, pilgrimage narratives, and the use of
the internet and new media. Further transnational practices examined
include religious learning and teaching practices and responses to
political events in the diaspora.
