PDF-(BOOS)-A Year in White: Cultural Newcomers to Lukumi and Santería in the United States

In the AfroCuban Lukumi religious traditionmore commonly known in the United States as Santeríaentrants into the priesthood undergo an extraordinary fiftythreeweek initiation period During this time these novicescalled iyawoendure a host of prohibitions including most notably wearing exclusively white clothing In A Year in White sociologist C Lynn Carr who underwent this initiation herself opens a window on this remarkable yearlong religious transformation   In her intimate investigation of the year in white Carr draws on fiftytwo indepth interviews with other participants an online survey of nearly two hundred others and almost a decade of her own ethnographic fieldwork gathering stories that allow us to see how cultural newcomers and natives thought felt and acted with regard to their initiation She documents how during the iyawo year the ritual slowly transforms the initiates identity For the first three months for instance the iyawo may not use a mirror even to shave and must eat all meals while seated on a mat on the floor using only a spoon and their own set of dishes During the entire year the iyawo loses their name and is simply addressed as iyawo by family and friends   Carr also shows that this yearlong religious ritualwhich is carried out even as the iyawo goes about daily lifeoffers new insight into religion in general suggesting that the sacred is not separable from the profane and indeed that religion shares an ongoing dynamic relationship with the realities of everyday life Religious expression happens at home on the streets at work and school   Offering insight not only into Santería but also into religion more generally A Year in White makes an important contribution to our understanding of complex dynamic religious landscapes in multicultural pluralist societies and how they inhabit our daily lives  .
