Richard Seager marks out a magnificent road map, directing us to important people, places, and issues in multifaceted Buddhist America at the turn of the millennium. . . . Under Seagers guidance we discover a great deal about the Buddhists of America, but also a great deal about the Americanization of Buddhism. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Review
"This book cries out for use as a textbook for classes on Buddhism in America." -- Franz Aubrey Metcalf, The Journal of Religion
"This well-informed book provides a comprehensive survey of a variety of Buddhist traditions in the contemporary U.S.... [its] strength, apart from being a mine of information, is Seager's insistence on taking a historically informed and comparative perspective." -- Martin Baumann, Religious Studies Review
"Unbiased and insightful, Buddhism in America offers a view of how far the Buddhist movement has come in little more than a century and a peek at where it is going at the dawn of a new millennium." -- Don Morreale, Tricycle
"[Columbia University] Press continues to bring excellent scholarship to the general reader with this outstanding study of American Buddhism." -- Jana Reiss, Publishers Weekly
