Description

Book Synopsis
Offers the first historical study of Nisei Shin Buddhists in the US during the tumultuous period between World War II and the early decades of the Cold War. This book examines Nisei-led adaptations to American Shin Buddhist institutions and organizations in an effort to reconstitute Nikkei Buddhist communities following the end of World War II.

Trade Review
Masatsugu’s book is a well-researched and important contribution to the fields of Japanese American history, US immigration and ethnic history, American religious history, and other areas of study. It is packed with fascinating evidence about a subject, Nisei Buddhism, that has yet to find its historian." —Lon Kurashige, University of Southern California
