Mourning the Unborn Dead - Wilson, Jeff (Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and East Asian Studies, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and East Asian Studies, Renison COllege, University of Waterloo)

This book discusses the surprising story of how Asian immigrants, convert Buddhists, pro-life and pro-choice activists, and ordinary women have imported Japanese rituals in order to deal with one of the most divisive public issues in American society: abortion. Wilson analyzes the implications of these varied appropriations for the Americanization of Buddhism.
