Ce mémoire a pour objectif d'apporter une réponse au phénomène d'expansion de la santeria, une religion afro-cubaine, à la Havane. Il se base sur un travail de terrain de deux mois dans la Capitale cubaine. Cette religion sera analysée à l'aide de la notion de "fait social total" (Mauss, 1925) et de pratique "à la carte" afin d'expliquer la croissance du nombre de ses adeptes.

In Queering Black Atlantic Religions Roberto Strongman examines Haitian Vodou, Cuban Lucumí/Santería, and Brazilian Candomblé 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.

"Gathers texts exploring the relationship between Santeria and esthetics. Essays by artists, scholars, and religious leaders are dedicated mostly to Cuba, with one essay on Brazil and others on various Caribbean artists. Interest in the subject, currently a frequent theme in specialized art publications, is growing among artists who feel related to Afro-American culture in general. Despite some irregularity in the book's content, probably due to the complexity of themes, this work serves as a good introduction to the topic from a contemporary perspective. Profusely illustrated; contains a useful glossary of terms and generous notations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Honorable Mention, 2019 Barbara T.

Raboteau Prize for the Best Book in Africana Religions presented by the Journal of Africana ReligionsAn examination of the religious importance of food among Caribbean and Latin American communitiesBefore honey can be offered to the Afro-Cuban deity Ochún, it must be tasted, to prove to her that it is good. In African-inspired religions throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States, such gestures instill the attitudes that turn participants into practitioners. Acquiring deep knowledge of the diets of the gods and ancestors constructs adherents’ identities; to learn to fix the gods’ favorite dishes is to be “seasoned” into their service.In this innovative work, Elizabeth Pérez reveals how seemingly trivial "micropractices" such as the preparation of sacred foods, are complex rituals in their own right. Drawing on years of ethnographic research in Chicago among practitioners of Lucumí, the transnational tradition popularly known as Santería, Pérez focuses on the behind-the-scenes work of the primarily women and gay men responsible for feeding the gods. She reveals how cooking and talking around the kitchen table have played vital socializing roles in Black Atlantic religions.Entering the world of divine desires and the varied flavors that speak to them, this volume takes a fresh approach to the anthropology of religion. Its richly textured portrait of a predominantly African-American Lucumí community reconceptualizes race, gender, sexuality, and affect in the formation of religious identity, proposing that every religion coalesces and sustains itself through its own secret recipe of micropractices.
