Cave of the Jagua: The Mythological World of the Tainos

Cave of the Jagua has long been the authoritative text on the now extinct TaA­no people of the West Indies. In this revised edition, Antonio Stevens-Arroyo reinforces his groundbreaking work with new research and analysis. The volume features updated interpretations of TaA­no spirituality, evaluates recent DNA findings among Caribbean people, and offers new evidence that TaA­nos were not exterminated in the sixteenth century. This volume will be invaluable to scholars of religion, anthropology, and Latino studies alike.
