Abstract [en]

As many chapters in this book highlight, young Sikhs at various locations have experienced a tension between the diaspora projects of their parents and the assimilating forces of the societies in which they live. As the “second-generation” Punjabi Sikhs in the West, many of them grew up in an in-between world in which they were positioned in relation to many cultural others and experienced both conflict and solidarity across different social fields. While many have naturally felt a belonging to their families, learnt the Punjabi language and Sikh religious practices, they do not necessarily share the diaspora perspective and consciousness of their parents. Similarly, they may have encountered both similarities and differences in relation to various “others” in different fields of the majority society. Several chapters of this volume illustrate how many young Sikhs have experienced a “double alienation” and a feeling of “being in-between” (see e.g. the chapters by Jacobsen, Jandu and Thapan).
