344 p., Essays that reopen the concept of possession in order to examine the relationship between African religions in the Atlantic and the economies that have historically shaped--and continue to shape--the cultures that practice them. Exploring the way spirit possessions were framed both by material things--including plantations, the Catholic church, the sea, and the phonograph--as well as by the legacy of slavery, they offer a powerful new way of understanding the Atlantic world.

164 p., Provides a syntactic description of the Afro-Bolivian Spanish determiner phrase. Afro-Bolivian Spanish is one of the many Afro-Hispanic dialects spoken across Latin America and, from a theoretical point of view, is rich in constructions that would be considered ungrammatical in standard Spanish. Yet these constructions form the core grammar of these less-prestigious, but equally efficient, syntactic systems.
