The Construction of Religious Boundaries: Culture, Identity and Diversity in the Sikh Tradition (Oxford India Paperbacks)
By Harjot Oberoi.
Description
This study lays the foundation for a major reinterpretation of religion and society in India. By extensively using post-structuralist theory, Oberoi suggests an alternative to earlier scholarly narratives that saw Sikhism, Hindism, and Islam as historically given categories encompassing well-demarcated and self-conscious units of religious identity. The theoretical advances are made through a searching examination of Sikh historical materials. - from Amzon
