East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam) and the EU are two of the planet’s most dynamic regions economically, politically, and culturally.
This book explores how East Asian religions affect EU countries, both through Asian diaspora communities and through European conversion and exploration. East Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam) and the EU are two of the planet’s most dynamic regions economically, politically, and culturally. East Asian diasporas have a long history in Europe and represent a growing part of the EU’s population. Meanwhile, Europeans have long been attracted to and interested in East Asian religion and are increasingly converting or incorporating elements of East Asian religiosity into their own identities. For the first time ever, this book presents the state of the art of research in this area, with chapters on each of the EU’s 27 countries and on themes such as migration, transnationalism, gender and sexuality. It covers East Asian Buddhism, East Asian Christianities, Daoism, Shinto, Cao Dai, martial arts, and looser forms of spirituality.

"Reading through the pages of the adeptly edited, precisely worded, and well-organised contributions in this valuable volume, one wonders why something like this has not already been published: a concise and comprehensive overview of East Asian religiosities in the EU. After all, that's what religious studies is for!" (Franz Winter, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Graz, Austria)
"This book is a remarkable collaborative scholarly achievement. Each chapter contains a wealth of ideas and up to date resources, offering a springboard for innovative research projects into the changing nature of European religiosities and cultural practices in a period of rising East Asian influence." (Brian Bocking, Professor emeritus of the Study of Religions, University College Cork, Ireland)
