New book out now by former Aunt Lute staff member!
Chenxing Han's first book, Be the Refuge: Raising the Voices of Asian American Buddhists, was released on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 with North Atlantic Books, a Bay Area–based independent nonprofit publisher.
“In this impressive debut, Buddhist chaplain Han offers an illuminating analysis of the intersection of race and privilege within American Buddhist communities.”
— Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Be the Refuge is both critique and celebration, calling out the erasure of Asian American Buddhists while uplifting the complexity and nuance of their authentic stories and vital, thriving communities. Encouraging frank conversations about race, representation, and inclusivity among Buddhists of all backgrounds, Be the Refuge embodies the spirit of interconnection that glows at the heart of American Buddhism.
You can read more about the book here, or order a copy from your local bookstore, favorite online bookseller, or directly from the publisher.
"Be the Refuge is a labor of love more than eight years in the making. Back in 2012, I realized that more than two-thirds of American Buddhists are of Asian heritage—yet it was a struggle to find Asian American Buddhists voices. That realization inspired me to start interviewing young adult Asian American Buddhists. Eighty-nine interviews later, I realized these voices merited a book. Be the Refuge weaves these voices with scholarly insights and my own story of grappling with what it means to be both a racial and religious minority in America."
— Chenxing Han, author
