Palo craft.In a riveting first-person account, Todd Ramón Ochoa explores Palo, a Kongo-inspired "society of affliction" that is poorly understood at the margins of Cuban popular religion. Narrated as an encounter with two teachers of Palo, the book unfolds on the outskirts of Havana as it recounts Ochoa's attempts to assimilate Palo praise of the dead. As he comes to terms with a world in which everyday events and materials are composed of the dead, Ochoa discovers in Palo unexpected resources for understanding the relationship between matter and spirit, for rethinking anthropology's rendering of sorcery, and for representing the play of power in Cuban society. The first fully detailed treatment of the world of Palo, Society of the Dead draws upon recent critiques of Western metaphysics as it reveals what this little known practice can tell us about sensation, transformation, and redemption in the Black Atlantic.PaloAfro-Caribbean cultsCubaDeathReligious aspectsCubaReligious life and customsCubaReligion20th centuryanthropology.black atlantic.comparative religion.cuba.cuban society.cultural anthropologists.discussion books.ethnic tribal.ethnographers.ethnography.havana.kongo.living and dead.nonfiction.palo.personal account.popular religion.praise of the dead.quita manaquita.religious practices.religious rituals.religious scholars.religious studies.sorcery.spiritual.transformation.tribal practices.western perspective.world religions.Palo.Afro-Caribbean cultsDeathReligious aspects.299.6/7Ochoa Todd Ramón1969-1555128MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785256703321Society of the dead3816787UNINA
