The cooking of history : how not to study Afro-Cuban religion (Book, ) [www.newyorkethnicfood.com]
Original, ground-breaking, very stimulating. This takes the study of Afro-Caribbean religion and culture to a new level. I just wish his editor had encouraged him not to write sentences, on every page, of 60 or even 75 words. One commences such a sentence as if contemplating a mountain that has to be climbed, or a dense thicket that has to be hacked through, in the midst of which, somewhere, one will find subject and verb.
An excellent book by one of the leading anthropologists on Afro-Cuban religion. It shows the power of history in the configuration of cultural traditions; it challenges our preconceptions, and offers an innovative approach to anthropology by using novel metaphors to analyze complex social processes.
