The 'other powers' of the book's title have helped to shape, or attempted to curtail, Caribbean religions and healing practices. These powers include those of capital and colonialism; of states that criminalize some practices and legitimize others; of occupying armies that rewrite constitutions and reorient economies; of writers, filmmakers, and scholars who represent Caribbean practices both to those with little knowledge of the region and to those who live there; and, not least, of the millions of people in the Caribbean whose relationships with one another, as well as with capital and the state, have long been mediated and experienced through religious formations and discourses"--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Obeah (Cult) $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Vodou $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Religion and politics $z Caribbean Area. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x Religion. 650 7 $a Obeah (Cult) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01042705 650 7 $a Religion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093763 650 7 $a Religion and politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01093842 650 7 $a Vodou. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01801724 651 7 $a Caribbean Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244080 650 7 $a Afroamerikanischer Synkretismus. $2 idszbz 650 7 $a Ritus. $2 idszbz 650 7 $a Wodu. $2 idszbz 650 7 $a ReligionsausuÌbung. $2 idszbz 700 1 $a Paton, Diana, $d 1969- 700 1 $a Forde, Maarit, $d 1973- 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E1C0FF472D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
