The resulting religion is known as Santeria, a blend of primitive magic and Catholicism now practiced by an estimated five million Americans.Santeria: The Religion is an informative and insightful examination of an African religion's survival in the New World. No one could write this book better than Migene GonzalezWippler. Combining her informed study as an anthropologist and personal experience as a Santerian initiate results in a thrilling book that reveals some of Santeria's most spellbinding elements: The orishas: the deities of Santeria.
