The Sikh religion has a following of over 20 million people
worldwide. However,events such as the verbal and physical attacks
on Sikhs just after September 11, where Sikhs were being mistaken
for Muslims, suggest that the Sikh faith still remains mysterious
to many. This Very Short Introduction introduces newcomers to the
meaning of the Sikh religious tradition, its teachings, practices,
rituals and festivals. Eleanor Nesbitt highlights and
contextualizes the key threads in the history of Sikhism, from the
first Gurus to martyrdom, militarization, and the increasingly
significant diaspora. Examining gender, caste, and the changes that
are currently underway in the faith, Nesbitt considers contemporary
Sikh identities and their role in our world. ABOUT THE SERIES: The
Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press
contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
