Persecuted as evil during colonial times, considered charlatans during the nation-building era, Puerto Rican brujos (witch-healers) today have become spiritual entrepreneurs who advise their clients not only in consultation with the spirits but also in compliance with state laws and new economic opportunities. Combining trance, dance, magic, and healing practices with expertise in the workings of the modern welfare state, they help lawyers win custody suits, sick employees resolve labor disability claims, single mothers apply for government housing, or corporation managers maximize their commercial skills. Drawing on extensive fieldwork among practicing brujos, this book presents a masterful history and ethnography of Puerto Rican brujería (witch-healing). Raquel Romberg explores how brujería emerged from a blending of popular Catholicism, Afro-Latin religions, French Spiritism, and folk Protestantism and also looks at how it has adapted to changes in state policies and responded to global flows of ideas and commodities. She demonstrates that, far from being an exotic or marginal practice in the modern world, brujería has become an invisible yet active partner of consumerism and welfare capitalism.

"With astringent understatement and wry economy, with nuance and intelligence and an enviable command of syntax and poetic line, Victoria Chang dissects the venerable practices of cultural piety and self-regard. She is a master of the thumbnail narrative. She can wield a dark eroticism. She is determined to tackle subject matter that is not readily subdued to the proportions of lyric. Her talent is conspicuous."—Linda Gregerson "Chang's voice is equal parts searing, vulnerable, and terrified."—American Poets Barbie Chang, Victoria Chang explores racial prejudice, sexual privilege, and the disillusionment of love through a reimagining of Barbie—perfect in the cultural imagination yet repeatedly falling short as she pursues the American dream. This energetic string of linked poems is full of wordplay, humor, and biting social commentary involving the quote-unquote speaker, Barbie Chang, a disillusioned Asian-American suburbanite. By turns woeful and passionate, playful and incisive, these poems reveal a voice insisting that "even silence is not silent." From "Barbie Chang Lives": Barbie Chang lives on Facebook has a house on Facebook street so she can erase herself Facebook is a country with no trees it allows her to believe people love her don't want to cover her Barbie Chang . . . Victoria Chang is the author of three previous poetry books. In 2013, she won the PEN Center USA Literary Award and a California Book Award. Chang teaches poetry at Chapman University and lives in Southern California.

Hola, me gozo de estar entre sus manos; usted es la razon de mi existencia; pues tengo grandes cosas para contarte; te dire secretos de ese mundo que se mueve junto al natural y que son invisible, pues son espiritual. Todas las personas estan viviendo bajo la influencia de ese mundo invisible, pues estan siendo victimas de una usurpacion espiritual de que son objeto. Para comenzar, te cuento, que, dentro de mi, estan escritas declaraciones, de como esos espiritus se estan engendrando dentro de cada persona. Y haciendose pasar por las personas, y no solo eso, si no que ponen una personalidad en ella no deseada; y como sugestionan su mente para que obedezcan. Lo que quiero contarte es como a traves de las religiones Santeras, Espiritistas y Paleras, llegan hacerles creer a los hombres, mujeres, ninos y ancianos que tienen un nuevo padre y una madre. En dos palabras, voy a explicarte la vida secreta del mundo del ocultismo y muchas de sus ramificaciones. La humanidad necesita saber como atraen sobre poblaciones enteras, a un ejercito de maldad espiritual antes los ojos de todos sin que nadie se de cuenta. Dentro de las letras que tengo, te regalare con amor, como los pueblos puede liberarse de la muerte y de la esclavitud que producen esas fuerzas espirituales de maldad. Abreme y comprenderas las razones de mis estrofas. No queda mucho tiempo; las pruebas estan en los acontecimientos que se ven en todas partes, en este mundo que ha sido invadido. Solo Jesus puede poner la vida y salvacion. !Dios le bendiga!
