Synopsis:

Today, more than ever, Cuba's rich and diverse culture exerts a strong influence on various forms of artistic expression in North America and the Caribbean, particularly in the areas of art, music and religion. Cuban Festivals: A Century of Afro-Cuban Culture , is an invaluable anthology of Afro-Cuban festivals presented by Judith Bettelheim and brings to life a variety of secular rituals and celebrations intrinsic to popular Cuban culture. This edition includes the first English translation of the celebrated article 'Afro-Cuban Festivals' by Fernando Ortiz, complete with 36 illustrations from the original Ortiz edition. The vivid and intimate detail of Judith Bettelheim's field photographs help bring these little-known secular rituals to life.
