A few years after the American declaration of independence, the first American ships set sail to India. Just as goods and gifts from the Zoroastrians of India quickly became an integral part of popular culture along the eastern seaboard of the U.S., so their newly translated religious texts had a considerable impact on American thought.

“Rose’s research will be a useful guide for anyone plotting their own dives into the topics, people, and places she includes in her case studies. Those interested in exploring the personal networks that undergirded commercial and religious exchanges will find territory for further investigation well-mapped here; Rose’s narrative and detailed bibliography will be especially useful for plotting new explorations … . Rose has revealed many new details about the early connections between Americans and Bombay Parsis … .” (Dael Norwood, The New England Quarterly, Vol. 94 (4), December, 2021)
