AfroKuba suggests: Religious eclecticism. Rousseaux Durruty Family

The book Religious Eclecticism. Familia Rousseaux-Durruty by Mayabequense researcher Yoel Enriquez Rodriguez is an inquiry into the popular religiosity of Melenera, but at the same time is a journey to the vicissitudes of the religious spirit of the nation, from a historical and socio-cultural vision that is dressed in the shadow of anthropology, demography and linguistics.

The book exposes the almost infinite game of migration and culture, epistemological element of inestimable value, paladin of the tasty syncretic ajiaco of Cubanity. Memory and tradition support and inspire the dances, toques, prayers, altars, deities, beliefs and faith of the Rousseaux Durruty progeny, an inseparable binomial that operates in this framework as a vehicle, in the land of the West, of the oriental muertería.

Writer and anthropologist Yoel Enríquez Rodríguez is director of Editorial Montecallado, in Mayabeque.
