Within Western Buddhism, practitioners are often assumed to be
white and middle-class. Based in ground-breaking empirical
research, Cosmopolitan Dharma: Race, Sexuality, and Gender in
British Buddhism explores the stories of Buddhists from minority
communities, through a rich analysis of their lived experiences.
Smith, Munt and Yip explore their various contestations of dominant
white and heteronormative cultures in Western Buddhism. Using
cosmopolitanism as the theoretical lens, Cosmopolitan Dharma argues
convincingly that the Buddhist ethos of human interconnectivity
needs to be further developed to truly embrace the 'Other' of
different kinds (not least Western Buddhism's own internal
'Others'). Cosmopolitan Dharma, through Buddhists' own narratives,
explores how cultural politics from the ground up can offer a more
inclusive philosophy and lived experience of spirituality.
