ABSTRACT
This chapter considers three ways in which liberal multiculturalism has become relevant to Sikhs in Western contexts. The first is adopted by Sikhs as a process to articulate and advance ethno-cultural-religious claims and values. The second approach is rooted in multiculturalism as a governance tool used by state actors to manage difference and consolidate dominant conceptions of the nation-state. The third approach is a rejection of liberal multiculturalism because it cannot go far enough in confronting or transforming racism against Sikhs and other non-white peoples.
