ABSTRACT Spain is a recent addition to the places of the Sikh diaspora, with 21,000 individuals recorded in 2016 (1% of the Sikh diaspora, but half of the total of Indian immigrants in Spain). This immigrant group shows clear generational components and is marked by expulsion from the political and economic spheres of their homeland, Punjab. Our main objective is to study how generational differences affect the socio-demographic structure, the migration process (reasons, routes, ways and destinations), religious practices and identity issues in the diaspora. We use a qualitative methodology. Primary data were collected in 60 in-depth interviews of Sikhs of diverse socioeconomic profiles and generations, from 25 municipalities of Spain during 2015–2016. We find that all the generations respond to the internal and external boundaries of the community in different ways which shape their views regarding the preservation and reproduction of religious practices and identity in a foreign setting.

移民、宗教和身份：锡克教移民到西班牙的代际视角

摘要西班牙是锡克教侨民的新成员，2016 年记录了 21,000 人（占锡克侨民的 1%，但占西班牙印度移民总数的一半）。这个移民群体显示出明显的代际成分，并被其家乡旁遮普邦的政治和经济领域驱逐出境。我们的主要目标是研究代际差异如何影响侨民的社会人口结构、移民过程（原因、路线、方式和目的地）、宗教习俗和身份问题。我们使用定性方法。主要数据是在 2015-2016 年期间对来自西班牙 25 个城市的不同社会经济状况和世代的锡克教徒进行的 60 次深入访谈中收集的。
