Society of the Dead by Todd Ochoa
Explores Palo, a Kongo-inspired 'society of affliction' that is poorly understood at the margins of Cuban popular religion. This title draws upon the critiques of Western metaphysics, revealing what this little known practice can tell us about sensation, transformation, and redemption in the Black Atlantic.
"[Ochea's] work is unlikely to be superseded.. Highly recommended." -- S. D. Glazier Choice
