"Buddhism, Modernity, and the State in Asia" explores the
relationships between Buddhism and various nations in South,
Southeast, and East Asia. Rather than promulgating a "Buddhist
exceptionalism" in which Buddhist actors and institutions transcend
politics, Pattana Kitiarsa and John Whalen-Bridge have assembled a
collection of essays that closely examine the ways in which
Buddhism and Asian Modernities are constantly interacting with and
conditioning each other. Instead of presenting a monolithic vision
of Buddhism, this volume treats particular situations in Burma,
Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam to
demonstrate the wide variety of forms and influences that Buddhism
has taken in its many consequential roles in Asian political
history.
