Santer a represents the first in-depth, scholarly account of a profound way of wisdom that is growing in importance in America today. A professional academic and himself a participant in the Santer a community of the Bronx for several years, Joseph Murphy offers a powerful description and insightful analysis of this African/Cuban religion.
