      Focusing on the body as a connection between the physical and spiritual realms, this analysis explores how Caribbean women navigate their roles within African-derived religious traditions like Santería and Vodou. Through the examination of works by notable authors, the study reveals how these narratives challenge dominant patriarchal discourses and highlight themes of gender, sexuality, and identity. By emphasizing the transformative power of these religious worldviews, the book illustrates how marginalized voices find expression and resistance within their cultural contexts.
