With Understanding Sikhism, James Holt has provided a very valuable contribution to the development of both primary and secondary teachers' knowledge and understanding of the Sikh tradition. He not only provides well researched and detailed substantive knowledge of the Sikh faith but also makes an important contribution to teachers' orientative knowledge by providing a convincing argument of how best to understand Sikhism within the current narrative of Religions and Worldviews.

This valuable resource maps out Sikh history, politics, philosophy, ethics, rituals and its diasporic reality in the UK with all its diversity and challenges. Accessible and engaging, it will inform teachers and inspire them to reflect upon and get excited about teaching the relatively unknown religion of the 28 million Sikhs living vibrantly across the globe.
