This book draws a nuanced picture of how the experience of
migration affects the process through which Sikhs in Finland and
California negotiate their identities. What makes this study
innovative with regard to the larger context of migration studies
is the contrast it provides between experiences at two Sikh
migration destinations. By using an ethnographic approach, Hirvi
reveals how practices carried out in relation to work, dress, the
life-cycle, as well as religious and cultural sites, constitute
important moments in which Sikhs engage in the often transnational
art of negotiating identities. Laura Hirvis rich ethnographic
account brings to the fore how the construction of identities is a
creative process that is conditioned and infiltrated by questions
of power. Identities in Practice will appeal to scholars who are
interested in the study of cultures, identities, migration,
religion, and transnationalism.
