Worldview, the Orichas, and Santería: Africa to Cuba and Beyond - Paperbackby Mercedes Cros Sandoval (Author) "A comprehensive, almost encyclopedic, introduction to Santeria . . . Cros Sandoval's greatest contribution is in tackling the question of why Santeria's Yoruba cosmology has proven so durable and compelling over time, even as it has been transplanted across an ocean and brought into contact with very different traditions in very different societies than its place of origin."
