Queering Black Atlantic Religions : Transcorporeality in Candomblé, Santería, and Vodou /

Roberto Strongman examines three Afro-diasporic religions--Hatian Vodou, Cuban Lucumí/Santería, and Brazilian Candomble--to demonstrate how the commingling of humans and the divine during trance possession produce subjectivities whose genders are unconstrained by biological sex.
