Achterflaptekst:

Most of the Africans who were enslaved and brought to the Americas were from the Yoruba nation of West Africa, an ancient and vast civilization. In the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the guiding concepts of the Yoruba spiritual tradition took. root in Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States. In this accessible introduction to the Yoruba tradition, Baba Ifa Karade explores the spiritual source of the beliefs and practices and their profound influence in the West.

“Author Karade traces the concepts of the Yoruba religion through its entrance into the Americas via Haiti, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and Cuba, and variations on the Yoruba tradition such as Santeria and Voodun. This straightforward text also compares Yoruba religious concepts to those of other religions in order to make understanding the tradition even easier. Prayers and rituals (e.g., herbal baths, etc.) complete this interesting handbook.” ─ Publishers Weekly.

Baba Ifa Karade holds a degree in Africana studies' from Rutgers University and has written a number of books about the Yorubal/ Ifa culture. He is a keynote lecturer at colleges across the United States and at Orisha conferences throughout the world.
