Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The first book-length ethnographic study on music and Ifa divination in Cuba and Nigeria. Hailing from Cuba, Nigeria, and various sites across Latin America and the Caribbean, Ifa missionary-practitioners are transforming the landscape of Ifa divination and deity (orisa/oricha) worship through transatlantic travel and reconnection. In Cuba, where Ifa and Santeria emerged as an interrelated, Yoruba-inspired ritual complex, worshippers are driven to African Traditionalism by its promise of efficacy: they find Yoruba approaches more powerful, potent, and efficacious.

Within a contentious religious landscape marked by the idiosyncrasies of Revolutionary state policy, Nigerian-style Ifa-Orisa is leveraged to reshape femininity and masculinity, state religious policy, and transatlantic ritual authority on the island.
