| Summary: | "The Oxford Handbook of American Buddhism provides a comprehensive account of the diversity of multiplicity of Buddhist communities, practices, and identities in the United States as well as theoretical interventions in the subfield of American Buddhist Studies. The volume is divided into four parts. Foundations includes essays on the historical and global context of Buddhism in the U.S. as well as foundational themes in the field such as race and gender. Traditions explores the multiplicity of Buddhist communities and their long histories in the U.S. Practices foregrounds both specific practices such as mediation as well as critical reflections on the categories of practices and ritual. Finally, Frames approaches American Buddhism through several critical and theoretical perspectives noting how Buddhism has adapted to or been changed by its encounter with the modern West - as well as how Buddhism has fundamentally changed American culture vis-à-vis secularism, psychology, art, literature, and education"-- |
