Ebook: Santeria Aesthetics in Contemporary Latin American Art

"Gathers texts exploring the relationship between Santería and aesthetics. Essays by artists, scholars, and religious leaders are dedicated mostly to Cuba, with one essay on Brazil and others on various Caribbean artists. Interest in the subject, currently a frequent theme in specialized art publications, is growing among artists who feel related to Afro-American culture in general. Despite some irregularity in the book's content, probably due to the complexity of themes, this work serves as a good introduction to the topic from a contemporary perspective. Profusely illustrated; contains a useful glossary of terms and generous notations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
