A moving collection of myths and tales, Afro-Cuban Myths was first published in 1938 under the title Oh, M�o Yemay�! These stories lead readers into a marvelous and magical world: the extraordinary imaginations of Afro-Cubans. Destined to become a classic in its field, it was the first to gather a sizable sample of Cuban patak�es (myths) characteristic of the Regla de Ocha (or Santer�a), the most widespread Afro-Cuban religion practiced on the island. These fantastical tales represent the profound response by the Santer�a to some fundamental questions of popular theology and philosophy. R�mulo Lachata�er� had to overcome prejudices that consider the religion and its associated literature undeserving of intellectual attention while he penetrated the secrecy in which black believers cloaked their beliefs and practices. They were fearful -- with good reason -- of attracting disdain, desecration, and persecution. The book also features an introduction by Jorge Castellanos, who has published widely on the influence of African culture on Cuban society.
