PART 3

Santería is a miracle of spirit brought out of crushing human suffering. Its history shows that a people placed under the most difficult conditions imaginable can fashion a spiritual world of beauty and hope. How are we to understand this miracle? How has santería survived, how has it changed, how does it continue to inspire seekers? In this final part, I will try to answer these questions by seeing santería from three interrelated perspectives: as a vital historical link with America’s African heritage, as a heroic struggle against racism and poverty, and as a religion of power and grace.
