American Sutra: Buddhism and the World War II Japanese American Experience

2019 | History & Politics

The mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II is not only a tale of injustice; it is a moving story of faith. In this pathbreaking account, Duncan Ryuken Williams reveals how, even as they were stripped of their homes and imprisoned in camps, Japanese-American Buddhists launched one of the most inspiring defences of religious freedom in our nation's history, insisting that they could be both Buddhist and American.
