This pioneering multisite ethnography explores how this phenomenon is affecting the remarkable religion of the Garifuna, historically known as the Black Caribs, from the Central American coast of the Caribbean. It is estimated that one-third of the Garifuna have migrated to New York City over the past fifty years. Paul Christopher Johnson compares Garifuna spirit possession rituals performed in Honduran villages with those conducted in New York, and what emerges is a compelling picture of how the Garifuna engage ancestral spirits across multiple diasporic horizons. His study sheds new light on the ways diasporic religions around the world creatively plot itineraries of spatial memory that at once recover and remold their histories. 606 $aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$zNew York (State)$zNew York Metropolitan Area$xEthnic identity 606 $aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$zNew York (State)$zNew York Metropolitan Area$xReligion 606 $aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$zHonduras$xMigrations 606 $aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$zHonduras$xEthnic identity 606 $aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$zHonduras$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$xReligion. 615 0$aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$xMigrations. 615 0$aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aGarifuna (Caribbean people)$xReligion. 676 $a299.7/892 700 $aJohnson$b Paul Christopher$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01013487 801 0$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248192203316 996 $aDiaspora Conversions$92357064 997 $aUNISA
