Creole Religions of the Caribbean<http://bit.ly/pPe3Ew> An Introduction from Vodou and Santeria to Obeah and Espiritismo, Second Edition Foreword by Joseph M. Murphy Margarite Fernandez Olmos & Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert Creolization–the coming together of diverse beliefs and practices to form new beliefs and practices–is one of the most significant phenomena in Caribbean religious history. Brought together in the crucible of the sugar plantation, Caribbean peoples drew on the variants of Christianity brought by European colonizers, as well as on African religious and healing traditions and the remnants of Amerindian practices, to fashion new systems of belief. Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive introduction to the syncretic religions that have developed in the region.
