In Queering Black Atlantic Religions Roberto Strongman Examines Haitian Vodou, Cuban Lucum/Santera, And Brazilian Candombl To Demonstrate How Religious Rituals Of Trance Possession Allow Humans To Understand Themselves As Embodiments Of The Divine. In These Rituals, The Commingling Of Humans And The Divine Produces Gender Identities That Are Independent Of Biological Sex. As Opposed To The Cartesian View Of The Spirit As Locked Within The Body, The Body In Afrodiasporic Religions Is An Open Receptacle. Showing How Trance Possession Is A Primary Aspect Of Almost All Afrodiasporic Cultural Production, Strongman Articulates Transcorporeality As A Black, Transatlantic Understanding Of The Human Psyche, Soul, And Gender As Multiple, Removable, And External To The Body.
