Crisis of identity : the Sikhs in England IB

Crisis of Identity is a slightly modified version of Dr. Agnihotri's D. Phil thesis from the University of York (U.K.). It focusses on the struggle Sikh children undergo in the process of negotiating two different languages and cultures and should be of interest not only to profes sional sociologists, psychologists and linguists but also to the layman. The more complicated analysis of the Panjabi, English and Mixed codes of Sikh children will be published in a separate volume.

The significance of the book has been clearly brought out by Prof. R.B. Le Page in his Foreword: "...it might help us to understand some aspects of any major cultural migration, particularly involving the urbanization of a formerly rural com Imunity. In this respect the study certainly has its relevance in modern India as in modern Britain-but it is relevant also in modern Quebec and modern Brazil and in a hundred other countries."
