Shakers of St. Vincent (Profiles of Healing Series)

Rating:
Summary: Spectacular!!!
Review: This beautifully researched, written, and illustrated book with it's accompaning CD is a wonderful gift for anyone interested in the African Diasporic Religions!

The author via participant observation methodology and individual case studies (personal accounts) truly does an amazing job on outlining and further defining the concepts, beliefs, and practices of this often overlooked religious tradition! The pictures and writing are simply amazing....

This book also contains a beautifully well done Compact Disk that brings you right into the milieu of the tradition and culture of the Shakers.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in comparative religion, caribbean studies, or ATR's!
