Exploring Afro-Cuban religious and cultural traditions, this foundational work draws from conversations with elderly priests linked to the transatlantic slave trade. The author weaves together ethnography, history, folklore, and botany to portray the rich influence of Afro-Atlantic cultures in Cuba, emphasizing the spiritual and medicinal significance of the monte (forest). With discussions of herbs and deities, it serves as a comprehensive guide to Afro-Cuban spirituality. This edition includes a new foreword and translator notes, solidifying its importance for scholars and practitioners alike.
