reviewed Santeria from Africa to the New World: The Dead Sell Memories on June 10, 2013
Santeria from Africa to the New World
Decent overview of a belief system that is unfamiliar to many North Americans.
There are many points that the author brings up that can be used as a starting point for further research into an intriguing topic.
I would recommend this book to any readers who have an interest on how African tribal beliefs were carried into the New World by slaves. Also, how Cuban exiles brought the beliefs to America after Castro came into power.
