La Habana, Crisol de Culturas y Credos
José M. Fernández
Hard-to-find Cuban publication exploring the remarkable cultural and religious diversity of Havana and the many traditions that contributed to the identity of the Cuban capital.
Rather than presenting a single religious or ethnological study, the book offers a panorama of the different cultures, religions and belief systems that became part of Havana's complex history. It also serves as a guide to notable religious institutions and places of worship throughout the city, with information on their historical, artistic and cultural significance.
The work includes material relating to Cuba's diverse religious traditions and cultural heritage, making it particularly interesting for collectors and researchers of Cuban history, Havana, Afro-Cuban culture, religion, ethnology and Caribbean studies.
