Description

Book Synopsis
As the twenty-first century begins, tens of millions of people participate in devotions to the spirits called Orisa. This book explores the emergence of Orisa devotion as a world religion, one of the most remarkable and compelling developments in the history of the human religious quest.

Trade Review
Shaped by the transatlantic slave trade, Christianity, Islam, colonialism, and, now, globalization, Yoruba religious culture remains dynamic and inspirational. This volume goes beyond the usual tendency in Diaspora studies to focus on cultural retention. It is a significant contribution. - Mojubaolu Olufunke Okome, Brooklyn College, City University of New York
