Dear colleagues I am a new member of the mailing list and would like to introduce me and my work. I am a trained cultural anthropologist who came to the UK in 2004 in order to teach study of religions at Oxford University. Since January 2007 I am teaching at Bangor University, Wales. My PhD was about the creation of identity with regard to Santeria and Puerto Rican spiritism in Puerto Rico. Afterwards I did some research in South America but returned to Caribbean Studies in 1998 for a research about Caribbean immigrants and there religious communities in New York (such as Santeria, Vodou and Shango). The monograph about this research was published in German but will be out in English next year (Ashgate). But if you want to see what I do, here is the announcement of a new book about Trans-Caribbean identity to which I provided a chapter. I hope to meet you soon, perhaps at the next conference in Edinburgh. Best wishes, Bettina -- Dr Bettina E.
