Auteur :
HOPKINS, P.

Description :
This article draws upon qualitative research with young Sikh men growing up in urban Scotland to explore the complex strategies enacted by these young men in responding to being placed in the position of the stranger. The strategies employed by the young men include educating others, managing multicultural intimacies, affiliating with the Scottish nation, and travelling far to socialise with friends. Overall, this paper offers a relational, embodied, and emotional set of insights into young Sikh men’s strategies for managing being cast as strangers and demonstrates the agency and creativity of the young men in doing so.
