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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aReligious cultures of African and African diaspora people. 517 3 $aOrisa :$eAfricana nations and the power of black sacred imagination 606 $aOrisha religion$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad$xHistory 606 $aReligion and sociology$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad$xHistory 606 $aReligions$xAfrican influences 606 $aBlack people$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad$xReligion$xHistory 606 $aCults$xLaw and legislation$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad$xHistory 606 $aReligion and law$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad$xHistory 606 $aPostcolonialism$zTrinidad and Tobago$zTrinidad 607 $aTrinidad$xReligion$xAfrican influences 615 0$aOrisha religion$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and sociology$xHistory. 615 0$aReligions$xAfrican influences. 615 0$aBlack people$xReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aCults$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and law$xHistory. 615 0$aPostcolonialism 676 $a299.60972983 686 $aREL000000$aSOC002010$2bisacsh 700 $aStewart$b Dianne M.$01276161 801 0$bNcD 801 1$bNcD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910617313503321 996 $aObeah, Orisa, and religious identity in Trinidad$93007177 997 $aUNINA
