Karibische Diaspora in New York: Vom Wilden Denken zur Polyphonen Kultur.

The monograph is based on research conducted among religious communities of Caribbean immigrants in New York City between 1999 and 2001 (funded by the Assembly of Hessen, Germany). The focus is on religious communities of the Cuban/Puerto Rican Santeria, Haitian Vodou, and Shango from Trinidad and Tobago but it also mentions institutionalized religions offering services to immigrants (e.g., Catholic Church, Lutheran Church and Pentecostal). Based on the description of religious mixtures the book discusses the meaning of Caribbean culture and the theoretical debate about culture.
