This book examines the long-term effects of violence on the
everyday cultural and religious practices of a younger generation
of Ahmadis and Sikhs in Frankfurt, Germany and Toronto, Canada.
Comparative in scope and the first to discuss contemporary
articulations of Sikh and Ahmadiyya identities within a single
frame of reference, the book assembles a significant range of
empirical data gathered over ten years of ethnographic fieldwork.
In its focus on precarious sites of identity formation, the volume
engages with cutting-edge theories in the fields of critical
diaspora studies, migration and refugee studies, religion,
secularism, and politics. It presents a novel approach to the
reading of Ahmadi and Sikh subjectivities in the current climate of
anti-immigrant movements and suspicion against religious others.
Michael Nijhawan also offers new insights into what animates
emerging movements of the youth and their attempts to reclaim forms
of the spiritual and political.
