Motherness, Heritage Love, and Womanist Anagrammars of Care in the Yoruba-Orisa Tradition -- The African Gods are from Tribes and Nations: An Africana Approach to Religious Studies in the Black Diaspora -- Orisa Vigoyana from Guyana."Obeah, Orisa, and Religious Identity in Trinidad is an expansive two-volume examination of social imaginaries concerning Obeah and Yoruba-Orisa from colonialism to the present. Analyzing their entangled histories and systems of devotion, Tracey E. Hucks and Dianne M. Stewart articulate how these religions were criminalized during slavery and colonialism yet still demonstrated autonomous modes of expression and self-defense. In Volume II, Orisa, Stewart scrutinizes the West African heritage and religious imagination of Yoruba-Orisa devotees in Trinidad from the mid-nineteenth century to the present and explores their meaning-making traditions in the wake of slavery and colonialism. She investigates the pivotal periods of nineteenth-century liberated African resettlement, the twentieth-century Black Power movement, and subsequent campaigns for the civil right to religious freedom in Trinidad. Disrupting syncretism frameworks, Stewart probes the salience of Africa as a religious symbol and the prominence of Africana nations and religious nationalisms in projects of black belonging and identity formation, including those of Orisa mothers. Contributing to global womanist thought and activism, Yoruba-Orisa spiritual mothers disclose the fullness of the black religious imagination's affective, hermeneutic, and political capacities."--Provided by publisher.Religious cultures of African and African diaspora people.Orisa :Africana nations and the power of black sacred imaginationOrisha religionTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligion and sociologyTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligionsAfrican influencesBlack peopleTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadReligionHistoryCultsLaw and legislationTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligion and lawTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryPostcolonialismTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadTrinidadReligionAfrican influencesOrisha religionHistory.Religion and sociologyHistory.ReligionsAfrican influences.Black peopleReligionHistory.CultsLaw and legislationHistory.Religion and lawHistory.Postcolonialism299.60972983REL000000SOC002010bisacshStewart Dianne M.1276161NcDNcDBOOK9910617313503321Obeah, Orisa, and religious identity in Trinidad3007177UNINA
