African Diaspora Religions in Five Minutes

African Diaspora Religions in Five Minutes introduces readers to the ideas, customs, and peoples associated with what are commonly termed “religions of the African diaspora.”The volume covers a broad range of geographies, time periods, and traditions, from Santeria in colonial Cuba to nineteenth century Haitian Vodun to African American Christianity in the twenty-first century United States, and considers those topics from the points of view of history, anthropology, theology, and literary studies.
