1. Discuss at least two Afro-Caribbean religious variations and assess their African origins (e.g. Santería, Obeah, Palo Mayombe, etc). Give specific examples of where these variations are found and what are their general practices. 2. Think about cultural survival, variations, transformations and challenges. Do you think there is a traceable African cultural continuum that transcends time, foreign invasions, and space? If so, what do you think are its main characteristics? If not, why? Elaborate your answer. Discuss the role of Vodou/Voodoo in the Haitian Revolution and beyond. What is the nature of Vodou that makes it intrinsic to most aspects of Haitian life? Critically discuss the use of White/European figures/aesthetics within Afro-Caribbean religions. Why use the “White mask″?
