The Sikh Diaspora in Vancouver
''The Sikh Diaspora in Vancouver: Three Generations Amid Tradition, Modernity, and Multiculturalism'' is a 2004 book by Kamala Elizabeth Nayar published by the University of Toronto Press. The book discusses three generations of the Sikh diaspora, a subset of the Indo-Canadians, in Greater Vancouver.〔Jakobsh, circa p. 119. "While acknowledging Sikhs' shared features within the broader category of South Asians in Canada, Nayar steers clear of the weaknesses inherent in generalizations about the wider Indo-Canadian community by focusing on the issues specific to the Sikh community in Canada,()"〕〔Basran, p. 151. "The authors implicitly recognize how discussions around the broad labels of Indo-Canadian, South Asian, or East Indian tend to gloss over the cultural, historical, and structural specificities affecting these Sikhs."〕
==Background==
Nayar is a sociologist,〔Dusenbery, p. 211.〕 and was an employee of Kwantlen University College.〔''Reference and Research Book News'', p. 1/2.〕 As part of her research she conducted about 100 interviews, some in Punjabi and some in English, using a semi-structured format.〔Todd, p. 372.〕 Nayar interviewed 80 Sikhs living in Vancouver, including first, second, and third generation individuals.〔 Most of the interview subjects originated from families who arrived in Canada in the late 1960s and early 1970s.〔Elsberg, p. 1830. "Nayar tells us that she began her project with an interest in “the process of adaptation and integration” as experienced by this sizable and visible minority, but that her interviews soon led her to focus on relations between the three generations she was interviewing, as she discovered that each seemed to occupy a different cognitive world."〕 Nayar also interviewed six persons who are considered to be public figures and twelve professionals.〔 In addition she analyzed religious texts and other documents.〔 Nayar originally intended to chronicle assimilation, but as she conducted the interviews she decided to shift focus to generational differences.〔
The author states that members of the public, Sikhs, and social scientists were the intended audiences, with the first group including counselors, educators, policymakers, and social workers. Verne A. Dusenbery of Hamline University wrote that in regards to the Sikhs, the only group that would "fully appreciate" the book's thesis would be the third generation and that this was based on the book's own arguments.〔Dusenbery, p. 212.〕
Her source on literacy and orality is a work by Walter J. Ong,〔 ''Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the World''.〔Nayar, p. (240 ).〕 Her sources on modernity are a work by Talcott Parsons and Edward A. Shils,〔 ''Toward a General Theory of Action'',〔Nayar, p. (237 ).〕 and a work by Alex Inkeles,〔 ''One World Emerging? Convergence and Divergence in Industrial Societies''.〔
