Global Sikhs

Free Download Opinderjit Kaur Takhar, "Global Sikhs "
English | ISBN: 1032219718 | 2023 | 386 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book brings a broad, holistic approach to the study of the phenomena of the global Sikh community referred to collectively as the Panth. With contributions by an interdisciplinary range of experts, the volume provides insight into current debates and discussions around Sikh identity in the twenty-first century. It examines the terms Sikh, Sikhism and 'Sikhi' and considers how those 'outside of the margins' fit into larger definitions of the wider Panth. Both the secular and religious dimensions of being a Sikh are explored and lived experience is a central theme throughout. The chapters engage with issues of authority and diversity as well as representation as Sikhs become increasingly settled and active within their diasporic locales. The book includes a variety of case studies and makes a valuable contribution to the growing field of Sikh studies.

Faces of Precarity Critical Perspectives on Work, Subjectivities and Struggles

Free Download Joseph Choonara, "Faces of Precarity: Critical Perspectives on Work, Subjectivities and Struggles"
English | ISBN: 1529220076 | 2022 | 266 pages | PDF | 17 MB
The words 'precarity' and 'precariousness' are widely used when discussing work, social conditions and experiences. However, there is no consensus on their meaning or how best to use them to explore social changes. This book shows how scholars have mapped out these notions, offering substantive analyses of issues such as the relationships between precariousness, debt, migration, health and workers' mobilizations, and how these relationships have changed in the context of COVID-19. Bringing together an international group of authors from diverse fields, this book offers a distinctive critical perspective on the processes of precarization, focusing in particular on the European context. The Introduction, Chapters 3 and 8, and the Afterword are available Open Access via OAPEN under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.
