A Party for Lazarus - by Todd Ramón Ochoa (Paperback)

A Party for Lazarus is a masterful ethnography that delves into the heart of Black Atlantic religious life in revolutionary Cuba.

This intimate account follows a Cuban family, six generations removed from slavery, as they struggle to honor their ancestors amid changing fortunes and a crumbling state.

With meticulous research and beautifully anchored writing, Ochoa tells a profound story of legacy, spirit possession, and everyday life in Cuba over two decades of economic hardship.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Cuban culture, religious studies, or the power of family and tradition.
