Description
Black Catholic Worlds offers a groundbreaking examination of religious life among Afro-Colombian communities during the eighteenth century. Bethan Fisk investigates how Black Catholics created and maintained distinct spiritual worlds within the colonial Spanish American context, analyzing the intersections of race, religion, and geography.
The book explores sacred spaces, devotional practices, and religious institutions that served as sites of community formation and cultural persistence. Fisk demonstrates how Afro-Colombian Catholics negotiated their faith within systems of slavery and racial hierarchy, developing religious expressions that reflected their unique experiences and identities. This work contributes significantly to understanding religious diversity in colonial Latin America and the agency of Black communities in shaping their own spiritual destinies.
