Presenting Japanese Buddhism to the West: Orientalism, Occidentalism, and the Columbian Exposition
Judith Snodgrass
Snodgrass challenges the predominant view that Asian cultures are objectified and understood strictly through Western ideas. Based on a detailed examination of presentations by Japanese Buddhists at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, Snodgrass argues that Buddhists themselves helped reformulate Buddhism into a modern world religion.
