Caribbean Diaspora in the USA presents a new cultural theory based
on an exploration of Caribbean religious communities in New York
City. The Caribbean culture of New York demonstrates a cultural
dynamism which embraces Spanish speaking, English speaking and
French speaking migrants. All cultures are full of breaks and
contradictions as Latin American and Caribbean theorists have
demonstrated in their ongoing debate. This book combines unique
research by the author in Caribbean New York with the theoretical
discourse of Latin American and Caribbean scholars. Focusing on
Caribbean religious communities, including Cuban/Puerto Rican
SanterA a (Regla de Ocha), Haitian Vodou, Shango (Orisha Baptist)
from Trinidad and Tobago, and Brazilian Pentecostal church,
Schmidt's observations lead to the construction of a cultural
concept that illustrates a culture in an ongoing state of change,
with more than one form of expression depending on situation, time
and context. Showing the creativity of religions and the way
immigrants adapt to their new surroundings, this book fills a gap
between Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
