Decena models what he calls a \u003ci\u003efaggotology\u003c\/i\u003e-the erotic in the divine as found in the disreputable and the excessive-as foundational to queer black critical and expressive praxis of the future. Drawing on theoretical analysis, memoir, creative writing, and ethnography of SanterÍa\/LucumÍ in Santo Domingo, Havana, and New Jersey, Decena moves between languages, locations, pronouns, and genres to map the itineraries of blackness as a “circuit,” a multipronged and multisensorial field. A feminist pilgrimage and extended conversation with the dead, Decena’s study is a provocative work that transforms the academic monograph into a gathering of stories, theoretical innovation, and expressive praxis to channel voices, ancestors, deities, theorists, artists, and spirits from the vantage point of radical feminism and queer-of-color thinking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40797205921889,"sku":"9781478019442","price":18.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37621167_4bc8bd0c-d172-417d-bf00-f6337fe663f2.jpg?v=1762224200","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781478019442-circuits-of-the-sacred","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
