Book excerpt: What happens when spirits use great power for evil purposes? What do you do when these spirits come to kill you? The only hope of defending yourself may be Emmanuel, who can call to the spirits that have guided and educated him through his entire life. Emmanuel, a twenty-seven-year-old Hispanic man, was born with a sixth sense. Some call it a gift, but he calls it a curse. Through practicing Santeria, an Afro-Cuban religion, he has learned the mysteries of the spirits that roam among the human race, and he believes it is his duty to fight against those trying to possess, harm, and torment others. When one such spiritual attack reveals a sinister plot to gain absolute power, Emmanuel comes face to face with an evil long since forgotten. He must venture to Africa, where it all began, to bring down a powerful voodoo priest with forbidden knowledge before Emmanuel's greatest fears become the world's reality. Along with his godchildren, Emmanuel travels to Africa to recover a book of forbidden ceremonies that could bestow great power upon whoever completes them. Emmanuel engages in the ultimate spiritual battle to ensure the security of the book, currently in the possession of the Santeros tribe, who are sworn to protect it at all costs.

This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using storytelling and performance to explore shared religious expression across continents Through a revolutionary ethnographic approach that foregrounds storytelling and performance as alternative means of knowledge, Situated Narratives and Sacred Dance explores shared ritual traditions between the Anlo-Ewe people of West Africa and their descendants, the Arará of Cuba, who were brought to the island in the transatlantic slave trade. The volume draws on two decades of research in four communities: Dzodze, Ghana; Adjodogou, Togo; and Perico and Agramonte, Cuba. In the ceremonies, oral narratives, and daily lives of individuals at each fieldsite, the authors not only identify shared attributes in religious expression across continents, but also reveal lasting emotional, spiritual, and personal impacts in the communities whose ancestors were ripped from their homeland and enslaved. The authors layer historiographic data, interviews, and fieldnotes with artistic modes such as true fiction, memoir, and choreographed narrative, challenging the conventional nature of scholarship with insights gained from sensorial experience. Including reflections on the making of an art installation based on this research project, the volume challenges readers to imagine the potential of approaching fieldwork as artists. The authors argue that creative methods can convey truths deeper than facts, pointing to new possibilities for collaboration between scientists and artists with relevance to any discipline. Publication of the paperback edition made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fascinating insights into modern urban religious practice make Orsi's collection a must-read." -- Publishers Weekly "The essays provide insight into the cultural creativity, reinterpretation of worship and religious ingenuity of city people over the last 50 years." -- Library Journal "At last, a major dissection of the great mystery in modern Americanlife -- how religion and spirituality prospered amidst industrialization,urbanization, and rampant technological change after 1880!" -- Jon Butler, Yale University "Urban religion" strikes many as an oxymoron. How can religion thrive in the alienated, secular, fast-paced, and materialistic world of the modern, Western city? The authors in this collection believe that cities not only can provide the settings for religious expression, but also are material to the experiences which give rise to those religious expressions. In this book, they explore the distinctly urban forms of religious experience and practice that have developed in relation to the spaces, social conditions, and history of American cities.

Book excerpt: First published in Cuba in 1954 and appearing here in English for the first time, Lydia Cabrera’s El Monte is a foundational and iconic study of Afro-Cuban religious and cultural traditions. Drawing on conversations with elderly Afro-Cuban priests who were one or two generations away from the transatlantic slave trade, Cabrera combines ethnography, history, folklore, literature, and botany to provide a panoramic account of the multifaceted influence of Afro-Atlantic cultures in Cuba. Cabrera details the natural and spiritual landscape of the Cuban monte (forest, wilderness) and discusses hundreds of herbs and the constellations of deities, sacred rites, and knowledge that envelop them. The result is a complex spiritual and medicinal architecture of Afro-Cuban cultures. This new edition of what is often referred to as “the Santería bible” includes a new foreword, introduction, and translator notes. As a seminal work in the study of the African diaspora that has profoundly impacted numerous fields, Cabrera’s magnum opus is essential for scholars, activists, and religious devotees of Afro-Cuban traditions alike.

Book excerpt: Today the forests have fallen; its gloomy inhabitants, gradually rejected by the civilization that persecutes them without truce or rest, have fled step by step before it; they have gone in search of safer retreats in the distance, taking their parents' bones with them lest they be unearthed and desecrated by the ruthless share of the white plow, which carves its long and productive furrow over their former homelands. hunt. Is this continuous, incessant clearing of the American continent an evil? Not by the way; on the contrary, progress, which marches by leaps and bounds and tends to transform the soil of the New World within a century, deserves all our sympathies. Nevertheless, we cannot help feeling a feeling of painful sympathy for this unfortunate race brutally outlawed, pitilessly hemmed in on all sides, diminishing day by day and fatally doomed to disappear very soon from that land, whose immense territory, four centuries ago at the most, covered with its innumerable masses.
