Studying the Sikhs Issues for North America
This basic guide and resource book targets four fieldsÂreligious studies, history, world literature, and ethnic or migration studiesÂin which Sikhism is now receiving greater attention. The authors explain the problems of studying and interpreting Sikhism, and opportunities for integrating Sikh studies into a broader curriculum in each field. They also provide a sense of the Sikh communityÂs own approach to education, and evaluate materials and approaches at the North American university level. Included are a sample syllabus with an explanatory essay, a bibliographical guide, a glossary, and a general bibliography. Gurinder Singh MannÂs review of his course on Sikhism is an effective mini-guide to the field as a whole.
