'This fine study of the Sikhs in Britain is a splendid addition to
the field. Not only does it provide an invaluable mapping of the
community's origins and development which should make it a standard
work of reference for years to come, but in its sophisticated
interrogation of the sociological and political tensions which have
marked that development it makes a uniquely informed wider
contribution to the ongoing debates about the nature of
"multicultural" Britain'. Professor Christopher Shackle, SOAS,
University of London 'This book is of very great importance for
anyone who wishes to understand the crucial role of Sikhs in
defining the possibilities of multiculturalism in Britain at a time
when the very notion is under attack from many sources. It should
be essential reading for policy makers as well as students.'
Professor John Rex, Professor Emeritus at the University of Warwick
'This work is a major review of the history and issues affecting
Sikhs in Great Britain since the Second World War. Balanced and
extremely well documented...it marks an important contribution to
Sikh and multicultural studies'. - Professor Norman G. Barrier,
Professor of History University of Missouri 'This is an important
book which details the coming to self-consciousness of the Sikh
community in Britain under local, national and transnational
exigencies'. Professor Uday S. Mehta, Department of Political
Science, Amherst College 'This book comes at a time when new limits
to multiculturalism and to free speech are being drawn and these
wider debates are brilliantly interwoven with an account of the
public and private lives of Sikhs. The book is politically charged,
but sensitive, humane and open-minded at the same time.' Robin
Cohen, ESRC Professorial Research Fellow, University of Warwick.
'This first major account of the development of the British Sikh
community is very welcome. Scholarly, analytical and deeply
empathetic, it is a major contribution.' Professor Judith M. Brown,
University of Oxford
