They are rising stars in a field where it is difficult to make a mark, and they are generous in their inclusion of precariously-positioned scholars and docrotal candidates in this work. - As religious systems, Vodu?n, Vodu, and Vodou share an open adaptability which encourages creativity, experimentation, and integration. This adaptability allows the conversation in this collection to move beyond "Africanness" and "European influences" to instead examine how political economies, histories, ritual practices, and migrations produce and reproduce the spirits and the values and practices that surround them. - The collection will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, Atlantic and diasporic history, African studies, Caribbean studies, anthropology of religion, and global studies. While there are few courses which focus particularly on Vodu?n and Vodou throughout an entire semester, each chapter has been written to appeal to course instructors and to upper-level undergraduates for inclusion in course packets. For this reason, the collection would also appeal to those with a general interest in the topic"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aVodou$zCaribbean Area 606 $aVodou$zAfrica, West 615 0$aVodou 615 0$aVodou 676 $a299.675 702 $aMontgomery$b Eric James 702 $aVannier$b Christian$f1975- 702 $aLandry$b Timothy R. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806963903321 996 $aSpirit service$93945921 997 $aUNINA
