Paperback. Condition: New. African cults and religions enrich all aspects of Cuba's social, cultural and everyday life, and encompass all ethnic and social groups. Politics, art, and civil events such as weddings, funerals, festivals and carnivals all possess distinctly Afro-Cuban characteristics. Miguel Barnet provides a concise guide to the various traditions and branches of Afro-Cuban religions. He distinguishes between the two most important cult forms - the Regla de Ocha (Santeria), which promotes worship of the Oshira (gods), and the traditional oracles that originated in the old Yoruba city of lle-lfe', which promote a more animistic worldview. Africans who were brought to Cuba as slaves had to recreate their old traditions in their new Caribbean context. As their African heritage collided with Catholicism and with Native American and European traditions, certain African gods and traditions became more prominent while others lost their significance in the new Afro-Cuban culture. This book, the first systematic overview of the syncretization of the gods of African origin with Catholic saints, introduces the reader to a little-known side of Cuban culture. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book deals with the myths of the orishas. Since it was published in 1938 under the title Oh, Mio Yemaya!, it has become a classic in the field. It was the first attempt in Cuba to gather a sizeable sample of the numerous patakies or myths characteristic of the Regla de Ocha or Santeria, the most widespread of the Afro-Cuban religions practiced on the island. The author had to overcome prejudice that considered the religion and its associated literature undeserving of intellectual attention and at the same time penetrate the secrecy in which black believers cloaked their beliefs and practices, fearful - with good reason - of attracting disdain, desecration, and persecution. African cults and religions enrich all aspects of Cuba's social, cultural and everyday life, and encompass all ethnic and social groups. This title provides a guide to the various traditions and branches of Afro-Cuban religions. It distinguishes between the two important cult forms - the Regla de Ocha (Santeria), and the traditional oracles.

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A moving collection of myths and tales, Afro-Cuban Myths was first published in 1938 under the title Oh, Mío Yemayá! These stories lead readers into a marvelous and magical world: the extraordinary imaginations of Afro-Cubans. Destined to become a classic in its field, it was the first to gather a sizable sample of Cuban patakíes (myths) characteristic of the Regla de Ocha (or Santería), the most widespread Afro-Cuban religion practiced on the island. These fantastical tales represent the profound response by the Santería to some fundamental questions of popular theology and philosophy. Rómulo Lachatañeré had to overcome prejudices that consider the religion and its associated literature undeserving of intellectual attention while he penetrated the secrecy in which black believers cloaked their beliefs and practices. They were fearful ¿ with good reason ¿ of attracting disdain, desecration, and persecution. The book also features an introduction by Jorge Castellanos, who has published widely on the influence of African culture on Cuban society. Kaden, Siegfried (illustrator).…
