Indigenous and African Diaspora Religions in the Americas

Professor Benjamin Hebblethwaite and Professor Silke Jansen were awarded a Publication Subvention Grant for their edited volume, Indigenous and African Diaspora Religions in the Americas , that collects ten chapters that explore Indigenous and African Diaspora spirit-based religious traditions in Canada, the United States, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Nigeria. The goal of the book is to profile the investigated religions using interdisciplinary research methods. The book includes several maps by UF’s geospatial consultant, Joe Aufmuth.
