    374 p., This volume's transnational mixture, along with its use of creative analytical approaches, challenges existing paradigms and summons new models for studying women, religions, and diasporic shiftings across time and space. Includes "É a senzala: slavery, women, and embodied knowledge in Afro-Brazilian Candomblé" by Rachel Elizabeth Harding, "'I smoothed the way; I opened doors': women in the Yoruba-Orisha tradition of Trinidad' by Tracey E. Hucks, and "Joining the African diaspora: migration and diasporic religious culture among the Garifuna in Honduras and New York" by Paul Christopher Johnson.
