Santeria: The Beliefs and Rituals of a Growing Religion in America

Santeria is one of the nation's fastest-growing religions, but few Euro-Americans know much about it, and what they do know often tends to be wrong or grossly stereotyped. In Santeria: The Beliefs and Rituals of a Growing Religion in America, Hope College religion professor Miguel De La Torre explores the history, rituals, myths and practices of this understudied religion. De La Torre, who grew up in the tradition, does not wish to ""condemn or condone"" it, but to help novice readers understand it in a fair and balanced way. .
