An updated introduction to the religions developed in the Caribbean
region Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive
introduction to the overlapping religions that have developed as a
result of the creolization process. Caribbean peoples drew on the
variants of Christianity brought by European colonizers, as well as
on African religious and healing traditions and the remnants of
Amerindian practices, to fashion new systems of belief. From Vodou,
Santeria, Regla de Palo, the Abakua Secret Society, and Obeah to
Quimbois and Espiritismo, the volume traces the historical-cultural
origins of the major Creole religions, as well as the newer
traditions such as Rastafari. This third edition updates the
scholarship by featuring new critical approaches that have been
brought to bear on the study of religion, such as queer studies,
environmental studies, and diasporic studies. The third edition
also expands the regional considerations of the diaspora to the US
Latinx communities that are influenced by Creole spiritual
practices, taking into account the increased significance of
material culture?art, music, literature, and healing practices
influenced by Creole religions.
