The Author: Mozella G. Mitchell is Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida, Tampa. She received her Ph.D. in literature and theology from Emory University, Atlanta. In addition to numerous articles in professional journals and edited collections, she is the author of New Africa in America: The Blending of African and American Religious and Social Traditions among Black People in Meridian, Mississippi and Surrounding Counties (Peter Lang, 1995), and editor of The Human Search: Howard Thurman and the Quest for Freedom (Peter Lang, 1992).
Crucial Issues in Caribbean Religions concentrates on the effects of intersections in the Caribbean of major world religions such as Christianity (both Catholicism and Protestantism), Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, with indigenous religions such as Caribs and Arawaks, and African-derived religions such as Lucumi (Yoruba/Santeria/Regla de Ocha), Regla de Palo, Vodun, Obeah, Rastafari, Orisa, or Shango in Trinidad. Closely examined are the social and economic problems and issues of exile, slavery, oppression, racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, cultural dominance, religious diversity, syncretism, popular religiosity, religious and spiritual imperialism, continuity and change, survival techniques in the face of attempts at eradication by religious powers, interreligious dialogue, and the quest for universal spirituality.
This series is named for Martin Luther King, Jr. because of his eminence in religion and society, and promotes scholarly research in areas that reflect the interrelatedness of religion and social/cultural/political development both in the American so ciety and in the world. Examination of religion and socio-cultural components such as race relations, economic developments, marital and sexual relations, inter-ethnic cooperation, contemporary political problems, and Black American issues are welcomed.
