Title: The Oxford Handbook Of Sikh Studies
Description: The Handbook is divided into eight thematic sections that explore different 'expressions' of Sikhism. Historical, literary, ideological, institutional, and artistic expressions are considered in turn, followed by discussion of Sikhs in the Diaspora, and of caste and gender in the Panth. Each section begins with an essay by a prominent scholar in the field, providing an overview of the topic. The following essays provide detail and further treat the fluid, multivocal nature of both the Sikh past and present. The Handbook concludes with a section considering future directions in Sikh studies. -- from dust jacket.
