The Santeria Experience is an autobiographical account of initiation into a clandestinely-practiced religion. Ms. Gonzalez-Wippler rewards her readers with the raw emotional impact of her personal encounters with the religion as both a researcher and an initiate. She is the first writer to present to an English-speaking audience the full emotional impact and ritual complexities of Santeria.
Looks at the history, rituals, ceremonies, and power of a growing religious cult that combines the beliefs of Catholicism and Yoruba religions from Africa.
