Exploring the issue of Islamophobic attacks against Sikhs since
9/11, this book explains the historical, religious and legal
foundations and frameworks for understanding race hate crime
against the Sikh community in the UK. Focusing on the backlash that
Sikhs in the UK have faced since 9/11, the authors provide a
theological and historical backdrop to Sikh identity in the global
context, critically analysing the occurrences of Islamophobia since
9/11, 7/7 and most recently post-Brexit, and how British Sikhs and
the British government have responded and reacted to these
incidents. The experiences of American Sikhs are also explored and
the impact of anti-Sikh sentiment upon both these communities is
considered. Drawing on media reporting, government policies, the
emerging body of inter-disciplinary scholarship, and empirical
research, this book contributes to the currently limited body of
literature on anti-Sikh hate crime and produces ideas for policy
makers on how to rectify the situation. Providing a better
understanding of perceptions of anti-Sikh sentiment and its impact,
this book will of interest to scholars and upper-level students
working on identity and hate crime, and more generally in the
fields of Religion and Politics, Cultural Studies, Media Studies,
and International Studies.
