About this book

Sikhism: The Basics provides an accessible, up-to-date and gender inclusive introduction to one of the five major world religions. The chronological and geographical parameters of the book are expansive, tracing five and half centuries ? from the vision of the founder Guru (Nanak 1469-1539) to its rich diasporic presence across the globe. Sikhism: The Basics includes chapters on:

the ten Sikh Gurus; a historical overview from the post-Guru period to modern times (contextualised by the history of Sikhs' spiritual capital, Amritsar)
theological imaginary, practices
the Sikh diaspora (Sikhs' history in North America, Asia (from west Asia to south-east Asia and China, Australasia, the UK and mainland Europe)
Sikh art and literature;
contemporary challenges and future prospects.

Written by two authors approaching Sikhism from 'insider' (Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh) and 'outsider' (Eleanor Nesbitt) perspectives. Accessible to the general reader, it also offers a fresh approach for students and scholars in the study of religions, Sikh Studies, Asian Religions, Anthropology and Diaspora Studies, South Asia, and history.
