Sikhs in North America

Providing access to important published and unpublished material in both English and Panjabi, this book is the first to present a comprehensive guide to a growing body of literature relating to Sikh communities in the United States and Canada.

Conflicts in the Punjab and elsewhere have brought the Sikhs considerable attention, with particular interest in the Sikh communities of the US and Canada. This bibliography offers annotated listings of books, reports, dissertations, journal and newspaper articles, films and videos on the Sikhs.

Recent conflicts in the Punjab and elsewhere have brought the Sikhs considerable attention from both scholars and the media. There has been particular interest in the cultural and social life of Sikh communities in the United States and Canada. Until now, however, materials on the subject have been either unavailable or found only in widely scattered sources. This book is the first to present a comprehensive guide to the existing literature. Providing access to published and unpublished material in both English and Panjabi, it brings together a broad spectrum of material that will be of use to both journalists and scholars.

The bibliography offers annotated listings of books, official and semi-official reports, dissertations, journal and newspaper articles, and films and videos. Arranged by subject, it covers the history of migration, educational issues, politics, religion, and community life. A section of Panjabi language and literature contains entries for Sikh writers living in North America. A brief discussion of each author is included, together with a list of principal publications. This bibliography is an appropriate acquisition for collections in ethnic and minority studies and a valuable resource for those with a special interest in the North American Sikh community.
