“In this riveting study Michael Nijhawan unpacks the potential of ‘diaspora’ as a self-differentiating concept and temporal formation. Grounded in a cutting edge social anthropology, the book develops a method of disjunctively juxtaposing two important diaspora communities thereby bypassing staid discussions of comparativism. Nijhawan unravels complex political discourses and everyday practices of a contemporary generation of Sikhs and Ahmadiyya Muslims, showing how both communities have become entangled in concrete discourses that deploy religion as a category of governance. This is an impressive and innovative piece of work.” (Arvind-Pal S. Mandair, University of Michigan, USA)
“This book represents a breakthrough in thinking religion and diasporas together in ways that refuse to demarcate religion, migration, and the political, social, and material as discrete, finite, or textual domains. Rather, the entanglements of ontology, materiality, and religiosity, as well as precarity and violence open up hitherto separate areas of research to productive and political critique.” (Inderpal Grewal, Yale University, USA)

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the long-term effects of violence on the everyday cultural and religious practices of a younger generation of Ahmadis and Sikhs in Frankfurt, Germany and Toronto, Canada. Comparative in scope and the first to discuss contemporary articulations of Sikh and Ahmadiyya identities within a single frame of reference, the book assembles a significant range of empirical data gathered over ten years of ethnographic fieldwork. In its focus on precarious sites of identity formation, the volume engages with cutting-edge theories in the fields of critical diaspora studies, migration and refugee studies, religion, secularism, and politics. It presents a novel approach to the reading of Ahmadi and Sikh subjectivities in the current climate of anti-immigrant movements and suspicion against religious others. Michael Nijhawan also offers new insights into what animates emerging movements of the youth and their attempts to reclaim forms of the spiritual and political. 308 pp. Englisch.
