The Making of American Buddhism by Scott A Mitchell
This volume looks at the intersection of race and religion in the United States before, during, and after World War II, when Nisei (second-generation) Japanese American Jodo Shinshu (or Shin) Buddhists reacted to the trauma of racial and religious discrimination.
The book offers not only an engaging account of Buddhism's transmission but also a reflective, scholarly understanding of how Japanese culture was able to remain authentic to itself while opening out and being assimilated into the wider culture* Choice *
Scott A. Mitchell is the Dean of Students and Faculty Affairs and holds the Yoshitaka Tamai Professorial Chair at the Institute of Buddhist Studies in Berkeley. He teaches and writes about Buddhism in the West, Pure Land Buddhism, and Buddhist modernism.
