Caciques and Cemi Idols: The Web Spun by Taino Rulers Between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico by José R. Oliver

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

Caciques and Cemi Idols is a book that sheds light on Taino Ancestral Spirits from an academic perspective. A dense read, it has a lot of archeological evidence used to back up the theories surrounding how Cemi (Ancestral Spirits) came to be, how the ancient Taino viewed them, and how these so-called idols were distributed among the people.
