Buying Buddha, selling Rumi : Orientalism and the mystical marketplace / Sophia Rose Arjana. by Arjana, Sophia Rose. Oneworld Academic, 2020. Call #: 201 A719b Subjects Orientalism.   Orientalism in art.   Buddhism -- Economic aspects.   Capitalism -- Religious aspects.   Religion and culture.   Marketplaces -- Religious aspects.   Globalization -- Social aspects. ISBN:  9781786077714 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Orientalism and the mystical marketplace Description:  x, 306 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-296) and index. Summary:  "From jewelry to meditation pillows to tourist retreats, religious traditions, especially those of the East, are being commodified as never before. Imitated and rebranded as 'New Age' or 'spiritual,' they are marketed to secular Westerners as an answer to suffering in the modern world, the 'mystical' and 'exotic' East promising a path to enlightenment and inner peace. In the book, Sophia Rose Arjana ( an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Western Kentucky University) examines the appropriation and sale of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam in the West today, the role of mysticism and Orientalism in the religious marketplace, and how the commodification of religion impacts people's lives."--From publisher.
