Keywords:
Read the story of two worlds that converge: one of Hindu immigrants in America who want to preserve their traditions and pass them on to their children in a new and foreign land, and one of American spiritual seekers who find that the traditions of India fulfil their most deeply held aspirations. Learn about the theoretical approaches to Hinduism in America, the question of orientalism, and the invention of Hinduism. The book discusses:

· the history of Hinduism and its journey to America · how concepts like karma, rebirth, meditation and yoga have infiltrated and influenced the American consciousness · Hindu temples in North America · the influence of Hinduism on vegetarianism and religious pluralism · the emergence of an increasingly assertive socially and politically active American Hinduism.

Hinduism in America contains 30 images, chapter summaries, a glossary, study questions, and suggestions for further reading.

Longs book is a foundational text for the study of Hinduism in America. Overall, this book is a great read for anyone interested in the origin, growth and formulation of Hindu identities in America. * Ethnic and Racial Studies * [ Hinduism in America] is important as it deals with the Hindu phenomenon in the United States in a comprehensive and positive way, covering almost all dimensions and presenting a clear picture of the American Hindu realm. The book is a must for every Hindu library both in India and abroad, and also for Diaspora Hindus. * Swarajya *
