Review
Indispensable reading for anyone interested in the history of Buddhism in America. (Jan Nattier, Indiana University)
This book is an important contribution to the sometime rancorous debate about what American Buddhism ought to look like and how it can best be adapted to American culture in ways that will insure both its success in the future and its integrity. (Richard Hughes Seager, Hamilton College)
This is one of the finest books I have read in a long time. (William H. Swatos, Jr., Sociology of Religion
An important and original contribution to American intellectual and social history. (Robert S. Ellwood, (Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography)
From the Inside Flap
Originally published in 1992, this landmark study on "convert Buddism" in Victorian America is a fascinating cultural history that explores the ways Buddism was adopted and understood by a variety of Americans including intellectuals, travellers, and critics. This new edition has a preface that places the book in the context of Buddism's growing influence in American culture today.
