"Rush constructs an elegant and convincing theoretical framework . . . supported by extensive ethnographic work in multiple sites. A rich and nuanced contribution to the literature on global Vodun in all its manifestations-from India to Brazil and the Caribbean, along with insights into slavery and its meanings in the Atlantic world-this book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of African-derived religions in Africa, the Caribbean, South America, and even North America. In this work Rush paradoxically moves us closer to understanding that which, she argues compellingly, cannot be understood."
