Well, any book on the history of the origins of Sikhism will touch on the socio-religious conditions in Punjab that lead to Sikhism's current form. The book that I keep on my book shelf is this one which touches more on the actual practices of Sikhism as opposed to its history, but it does touch on some of those aspects. I have heard good things about this book, written by a former Sikh and self proclaimed Sikh-Atheist.
In a nutshell though:
Obviously, this account is focussing on the Sikh-Muslim interactions during this time -- I havent talked about the dharmic concepts in Sikhism, but these interactions were directly responsible for the fact we carry kirpans and wear publicly visible turbans today.
I haven't read this book, but it reviews well, and I've read another by the same author https://www.amazon.com/Sikhism-Introductions-Nikky-Guninder-Kaur-Singh/dp/1848853211/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506345505&sr=8-2&keywords=sikhism
