Multi-faith Integration and South Asian Communities in theMulti-Ethnic City of Leicester

该项目的目的是调查第二次世界大战结束以来多民族城市莱斯特的南亚（主要是印度）移民社区的历史，主要关注宗教问题（印度教，伊斯兰教，锡克教等）。我特别强调的是每种宗教中存在的多样性和偏见，以及它们与莱斯特多信仰融合过程的关系，这是在整个英国实施更普遍的多元文化政策的背景下发生的。在我的学习过程中，我采访了许多人，并出版了五本英文出版物，作为明治大学宗教和文化多样性历史研究中心出版的“记忆与叙事”系列的一部分。

The aim of this project has been to investigate the history of South Asian (mainly Indian) immigrants communities in the multi-ethnic city of Leicester from the end of the Second World War onwards, focussing primarily on the issue of religion (Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, etc). My particular emphasis has been on the diversities and prejudices which exist within each religion, and their relationship to the process of multi-faith integration in Leicester, which has taken place in the context of more general multicultural policies applied across Britain as a whole. During the course of my studies, I have conducted interviews with a number of individuals and have produced five publications in English as part of the ‘Memory and Narrative’series published by theResearch Centre for the History of Religious and Cultural Diversity at Meiji University.
