Abstract

The article discusses two volumes of a work titled "Obeah, Orisa & Religious Identity in Trinidad." Volume 1 explores the concept of Obeah, a system of African-based beliefs among Black peoples in the Caribbean, while Volume 2 focuses on Orisa, Yoruba deities embedded in Obeah. Both volumes examine the cultural and religious identity of African descendant Trinidadians, highlighting their empowerment and symbolic liberation. The work is valuable for academics and students in the fields of comparative religions, as well as those interested in the unique history of the Caribbean and the foundations of Santeria. The authors have extensive research experience in African religion, and the volumes provide a historical and social analysis of Obeah and Orisa in Trinidad. [Extracted from the article]
