Diaspora Conversions: Black Carib Religion and the Recovery of Africa
Paul Christopher Johnson
By joining a diaspora, a society may begin to change its religious, ethnic, and even racial identifications by rethinking its "pasts." This book explores how this phenomenon affects the religion of the Garifuna. It compares Garifuna spirit possession rituals performed in Honduran villages with those conducted in New York.
