520 |a "Hinduism in America: An Introduction is a concise introduction to the long history of religion in the encounter between America and India. It is not a book that will tell you what Hinduism is, rather it is an introduction to the variety of ways Hinduism has been represented, constructed, and practiced in the United States. Americans have been interested in the religions of India since the colonial period and, by the late nineteenth century, the first Hindu teachers arrived in the United States.

When the Cold War led to changes in U.S. immigration policy in 1965, new immigrant communities arrived in the United States and built new Hindu institutions. Hinduism in America is an accessible introduction to these developments of Hinduism in the United States. Each chapter in Hinduism in America uses a key theoretical term in the study of religion to frame explore a variety of historical topics including: American missionary encounters with India representations of Hindu religions in American literature world religions and Hinduism vedanta yoga Hinduism in the American counterculture of the 1960s immigrant Hindu communities in the United States.
