Bibliographies and indexes in sociology Nu.19ISSN
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 Providing access to published and unpublished material in both English and Panjabi it brings together a broad spectrum of material that will be of use to both journalists and scholars.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.
Contents: Preface; Introduction; General Sources; Migration and Settlement; Employment; Education; Family and Social Life; Language; Literature and Media; Politics; Religion; Appendix: The Panjabi Press of North America; Index.
