Zoroastrian Women in the United States of America. Practicing Lived Zoroastrianism in a Diaspora

Zoroastrian Women in the United States of America. Practicing Lived Zoroastrianism in a Diaspora

Opis publikacji

This book examines how ancient Zoroastrianism is practiced in the US diaspora and how it has evolved dynamically. As it developed in the patriarchal cultures of Iran and India, to move beyond the dominant male perspective, this book focuses on women. The lived religion approach demonstrates that Zoroastrianism in their everyday experiences is more than just a religion, but is a spiritual path, an ethnic tradition, and a cultural identity. Some women challenge old patterns, and Zoroastrianism in the diaspora turns out to be multifaceted and vibrant, despite the fear held by some community members that it may become extinct. Richly illustrated with the narratives of subsequent generations of Iranian and Parsi immigrants as well as photos, the book gives a taste of the diverse Zoroastrian life across the US.

Richly illustrated with the narratives of subsequent generations of Iranian and Parsi immigrants as well as photos, the book gives a taste of the diverse Zoroastrian life across the US. It not only broadens the picture of the ethnoreligious landscape in the country and expands interest in Zoroastrian studies, but also highlights the role of social practice theory in the study of religion, demonstrating how it may apply to qualitative field research, stimulating further discussion. The study is informationally fascinating, culturally sensitive, and makes major contributions to religious studies, cultural studies, immigration studies, and the history of Zoroastrianism. Professor Jamsheed Choksy, Indiana University In this work, Paulina Niechciał, a leading expert on contemporary Zoroastrianism, provides a theory-driven, yet meticulous anthropological portrayal of how Zoroastrian women in the United States live and navigate their religion. As a reader, I was particularly captivated by her insightful observations of cross-generational change. Professor Michael Stausberg, University of Bergen
