關於這本電子書

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.
