The Gut
If the head is religion, the gut is magic. Taking up this provocation, this Element delves into the digestive system within transnational Afro-Diasporic religions such as Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Candomblé, and Cuban Lucumí (also called Santería). It draws from the ethnographic and archival record to probe the abdomen as a vital zone of sensory perception, amplified in countless divination verses, myths, rituals, and recipes for ethnomedical remedies. Provincializing the brain as only one locus of reason, it seeks to expand the notion of 'mind' and expose the anti-Blackness that still prevents Black Atlantic knowledges from being accepted as such. The Element examines gut feelings, knowledge, and beings in the belly; African precedents for the Afro-Diasporic gut-brain axis; post-sacrificial offerings in racist fantasy and everyday reality; and the strong stomachs and intestinal fortitude of religious ancestors. It concludes with a reflection on kinship and the spilling of guts in kitchenspaces.
The Death of Fidel Perez
In 2003 Havana, Fidel Pâerez and his brother accidentally fall to their deaths from a balcony, and when their neighbor calls out "Fidel has fallen," others misinterpret that cry for help and spread the word throughout the city.
Balancing the Dream
Close the door. Leave all your possessions behind. Embark onto uncharted waters. Arrive to a new land that embraces you with open arms. Face your new reality. Learn a new language. Roll up your sleeves and start over. Welcome! Who are you now? Global instability has existed throughout history, bringing with it unforeseen circumstances. Through this autoethnography, the author brings to life her own experiences growing up with two cultural identities. The story is told through a series of family photographs and familial anecdotes. It explores intergenerational influences that shaped her approach in aspects of her personal as well as professional life as an educator. The reader comes along on the journey as each chapter provides a voice to the discourse. The author attempts to shape an identity within her hybrid existence. Hoping not to lose the best of her two worlds, she chooses instead to endure the struggle to balance them. Although revealed through the words of a first generation Cuban American, the narration serves to stir, within the reader, the inquiries and memories of all that have the desire to look deeper into their own identity.
A Cry of Victory and a Garment of Praise
The central figure and focus of this book is God. He has given me overwhelming victory in a garment of praise (see Isaiah 61:3). It’s my desire to share some of the many special blessings that I have experienced in my journey with God. Through this journey, I discovered, as you too will discover, that though we are frail and weak, He gives us the strength and understanding to dwell in Him. In Philippians 4:13, Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” We are victorious because He knows each one of us by name and is aware of our life’s struggles. This book is my story, the story of a woman who believed the timeless truth that God could, and still can, do anyt...
