Description
Racialization, Islamophobia and Mistaken Identity: The Sikh Experience explores the complex issue of Islamophobic attacks against Sikhs in the UK since 9/11. This book delves into the historical, religious, and legal foundations that underpin understanding race hate crime against the Sikh community. The authors examine the backlash faced by Sikhs in the UK following these incidents, providing a theological and historical context to Sikh identity within the global framework. They also investigate how British Sikhs and the government have responded to Islamophobic attacks since 9/11, 7/7, and post-Brexit, as well as exploring the experiences of American Sikhs. By drawing on media reporting, government policies, interdisciplinary scholarship, and empirical research, this book sheds light on perceptions of anti-Sikh sentiment and its impact. It will be of interest to scholars and students working in fields such as Religion and Politics, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, and International Studies.
