商品簡介
Buddhism in America provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the diversity of Buddhist traditions in the US, their historical development, and current methodological trends and debates in the emerging field of study of Western Buddhism.
Divided into three parts (Histories; Traditions; Frames), this introduction traces the shared history of the diverse traditions that comprise American Buddhism, surveying their points of contact and divergent streams, as well as engaging with contemporary issues and debates in modern American Buddhism.
The volume includes:
- A Very Short Introduction to Buddhism for beginners
- Comprehensive and chronological historical survey from the 19th century to the present day
- Coverage of traditions in the US today, including Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana as well as Online Buddhism
Theoretical and methodological issues and debates covered include:
- Social, political and environmental engagement
- Feminism, gender and queer theory
- Race, globalization and modernity
- Popular culture, media, and the arts, including hip-hop, gaming, and advertising
Pedagogical tools include chapter summaries, discussion questions, 40 images and maps, a glossary, and case studies. The book's website provides additional case studies, and a list of reliable further resources available online. With individual chapters which can stand on their own and be assigned out of sequence, Buddhism in America is the ideal textbook and resource for courses on Buddhism in America, American Religious History, and Introduction to Buddhism.
