ABSTRACT
What is understood when one refers to ‘Zoroastrianism’ at any given stage in the development of the religion? This chapter focuses on the ways in which Zoroastrians, as a minority, have negotiated a position of status since the late eighteenth century, and in so doing have reclaimed their own tradition and identity. It shows how Zoroastrians who have migrated to North America in particular stay connected to their faith and rituals in the diaspora.
