Abstract

In this volume, we bring together research on African derived Religions in Latin America and African American Religions in the USA. Theoretically, the concepts of hybridity and syncretism are discussed, in the introduction as well as in the papers included. The papers featured deal with Brazilian Umbanda, Cuban Santería, US African Black Hebrew Israelites, the Five Percenter movement (an offspring of the Nation of Islam), and one single person, Robert T. Browne, an activist in the Black Nationalist movement. In the religions covered – that are an outcome of the historical circumstances of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade – elements taken from West and Central African traditions, European Christianity, and Kardecian Spiritism blend to new forms of religious movements. This being the “fundamental” transformation of religion addressed here, some essays in the volume also look at the further transformation of those traditions in a “glocalized” world.
从同一性到混合性:美国非裔宗教的变革》:导言
在本卷中,我们汇集了有关拉丁美洲非洲派生宗教和美国非洲裔美国人宗教的研究成果。从理论上讲,在引言和收录的论文中都讨论了混杂性和融合性的概念。收录的论文涉及巴西的安班达(Umbanda)、古巴的桑特里亚(Santería)、美国的非洲黑人希伯来以色列人、Five Percenter 运动(伊斯兰民族的后代)以及黑人民族主义运动的活动家罗伯特-T-布朗(Robert T. Browne)。这些宗教是跨大西洋奴隶贸易历史条件下的产物,在这些宗教中,来自西非和中非传统、欧洲基督教和卡德克神灵论的元素融合成了新形式的宗教运动。这是本卷所探讨的宗教的 "根本 "转变,卷中的一些文章还探讨了这些传统在 "全球化 "世界中的进一步转变。
