Summary: An Account From Primary Sources
Comment: "Asian Religions in America: A Documentary History" is an important contribution to the subfield of Asian Religions in America by two leading scholars. As the title suggests, the book is a superbly edited collection of primary sources that range from early missionary accounts in Burma through the civil war right up to author Amy Tan and the Beastie Boys. Moreover, the introductions and explanations by Tweed and Prothero clearly interpret the importance of these documents for the reader. These introductions both contextualize the selected writings and explain their significance. The final chapter, Mapping Legal Boundaries: Religion and State, also provides a glimpse at the future of Asian Religions in America. A must read for any scholar, or practicioner with a historical bend.
