In Queering Black Atlantic Religions Roberto Strongman examines
Haitian Vodou, Cuban Lucumi/Santeria, and Brazilian Candomble to
demonstrate how religious rituals of trance possession allow humans
to understand themselves as embodiments of the divine. In these
rituals, the commingling of humans and the divine produces gender
identities that are independent of biological sex. As opposed to
the Cartesian view of the spirit as locked within the body, the
body in Afro-diasporic religions is an open receptacle. Showing how
trance possession is a primary aspect of almost all Afro-diasporic
cultural production, Strongman articulates transcorporeality as a
black, trans-Atlantic understanding of the human psyche, soul, and
gender as multiple, removable, and external to the body.
