توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
در طول قرن نوزدهم، بیشتر دنیای تراوادا در جنوب شرقی آسیا تحت سلطه استعماری قدرت های اروپایی قرار گرفت. در حالی که این مدت طولانی به عنوان یک رویداد مرکزی در توسعه اشکال مدرن بودیسم تراوادا تلقی می شود، بیشتر بحث ها بر جوامع یا ملت های بودایی خاص و به ویژه مقاومت آنها در برابر استعمار متمرکز شده است.
فصول این مقاله این کتاب به بررسی زمینهها و رژیمهای مختلف استعماری میپردازد که بوداییهای تراوادا تجربه کردند، نه فقط قدرتهای اروپایی مانند بریتانیا، فرانسه، بلکه استعمار داخلی چین و تایلند. آنها نشان میدهند که در حالی که بسیاری از بوداییها در برابر استعمار مقاومت میکردند، سایر بوداییها برنامههای مشترکی با قدرتهای استعماری داشتند، مانند اصلاح جامعه رهبانی. آنها همچنین نشان میدهند که در برخی مکانها، مانند سنگاپور و مالزی، استعمار باعث ایجاد جوامع بودایی تراوادا شد. این کتاب اهمیت تفکر در مورد استعمار را در سطح محلی و منطقه ای نشان می دهد.
این کتاب با ارائه درک جدیدی از وسعت تجربیات تراوادا و استعمار در سراسر آسیا، مورد توجه محققان این حوزه قرار خواهد گرفت. مطالعات بودایی، تاریخ آسیایی، تاریخ تطبیقی جهان، مطالعات آسیای جنوب شرقی و مطالعات دینی.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
Over the course of the nineteenth century, most of the Theravada world of Southeast Asia came under the colonial domination of European powers. While this has long been seen as a central event in the development of modern forms of Theravada Buddhism, most discussions have focused on specific Buddhist communities or nations, and particularly their resistance to colonialism.
The chapters in this book examine the many different colonial contexts and regimes that Theravada Buddhists experienced, not just those of European powers such as the British, French, but also the internal colonialism of China and Thailand. They show that while many Buddhists resisted colonialism, other Buddhists shared agendas with colonial powers, such as for the reform of the monastic community. They also show that in some places, such as Singapore and Malaysia, colonialism enabled the creation of Theravada Buddhist communities. The book demonstrates the importance of thinking about colonialism both locally and regionally.
Providing a new understanding of the breadth of experiences of Theravada and colonialism across Asia., this book will be of interest to scholars in the field of Buddhist Studies, Asian History, Comparative World History, Southeast Asian Studies and Religious Studies.
