Converting American Buddhism is a cultural history of Buddhist American converts and their children from the 1950s to the present. This study examines a wide range of popular narratives-including Jack Kerouac's novels, parenting manuals, films, and autobiographies-in order to uncover the stories of second-generation Buddhist Americans.
