Atlantic Perspectives cover

Focusing on mobility, religion, and belonging, the volume contributes to transatlantic anthropology and history by bringing together religion, cultural heritage and placemaking in the Atlantic world. The entanglements of these domains are ethnographically scrutinized to perceive the connections and disconnections of specific places which, despite a common history, are today very different in terms of secular regimes and the presence of religion in the public sphere. Ideally suited to a variety of scholars and students in different fields, Atlantic Perspectives will lead to new debates and conversations throughout the fields of anthropology, religion and history.

“These essays collectively demonstrate the complexity of the black Atlantic and how it continues to shape the modern world… Recommended.”• Choice

“Offers very timely ethnographic explorations of contemporary configurations of the black Atlantic and its endless possibilities, reinventions, rerouting and rerooting… It should be of immense value for graduate students and established scholars in a variety of fields in the humanities and social sciences.”• Jean Muteba Rahier, Florida International University
