The Mythology and Religion of the Taínos is an analysis and summary of the beliefs and rituals of the Taíno people, who were the predominant culture in the Greater Antilles, or "West Indies," at the moment of the Europeans' arrival. In this fascinating book, text and image join to provide both the general public and the scholar an essential work in the bibliography of the indigenous people of the Antilles.At the moment of Contact, the Taínos' mythical time, with its periods of creation, the obtention of cultural assets, and the establishment of the structure and norms of society, was interlinked with historical time. Their powerful, sacred cemíes preserved the spirits of the deities and other mythical figures of the past, allowing the Taínos to maintain contact with the time of the origins. When, during the ritual of the cohoba, the cacique, or chief, communicated with those higher beings, he became the mediator between the deities and society. Thus, the power that legitimized the Taíno religion and social order was made visible in the triad cemíes-cohoba-cacique. Sebastián Robiou Lamarche, whose previous books include Encuentro con la mitología taína (1992), Taínos y Caribes: las culturas aborígenes antillanas (2003), Mitología y religion de los Taínos (2016) and Tainos and Caribs (2019), has a doctorate in history from the Center for Advanced Studies of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean (San Juan, P.R.).Andrew Hurley is the translator of a wide range of literary and academic works, including the collected fictions of Jorge Luis Borges, the selected prose writings of Rubén Darío, and Reinaldo Arenas' Pentagonía novels.

"In his new Introduction to this edition, Stevens-Arroyo analyzes significant new research, provides a guide to the important scientific findings of mitochondrial DNA among contemporary Caribbean peoples, offers additional evidence supporting his original argument that the Tainos were not exterminated in the 16th century, and initiates discussion of still unresolved issues. This edition of Cave of the Jagua considers Neo-Taino movements, explores the meanings of Taino spirituality, and emphasizes the significance of that message to the contemporary world."--Jacket.

This book was published originally in Spanish under the title Taínos y caribes, las culturas aborígenes antillanas. Since its publication in 2003, it has been recognized as having contributed to a better understanding among the general public of the history of the Antillean cultures before, during and after the arrival of the Europeans.Over the years, I have received a considerable number of requests from people around the world expressing their desire that the book be made available in English. Tainos and Caribs: The Aboriginal Cultures of the Antilles was inspired by those demands. I hope that the English edition broadens the reach of knowledge from anthropologists, historians, archeologists, linguists, artists and others about the Tainos and the Caribs, two cultures that have captivated my interest and imagination for over 25 years.The original design of the book was made with great care by my daughter Claudia. This English edition reviews and updates the original text and bibliography. The complete translation from Spanish was carried out meticulously by my daughter Grace, whose great effort and enthusiasm makes this edition possible. I thank both of them for their wholehearted commitment and devotion in the publication and dissemination of this work. Sebastián Robiou Lamarche, Author. "I knew this book would become a classic from the moment I read it in 2004. It has characteristics that distinguish it from other books on the ancient Caribbean. Notably, Robiou recognizes that Taino and Carib societies were not simple. Quite the opposite, he describes them as vibrant and sophisticated. This revision and English edition is well-timed because recent developments reaffirm the composite view of the Caribbean presented in the original publication". L. Antonio Curet, Curator, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, D.C. "Tainos and Caribs marks a milestone in the historiography of the indigenous Caribbean. Based on diverse primary sources (archaeological, linguistic, ethnohistorical), Robiou Lamarche offers a great synthesis and an in-depth analysis of the Taino chiefdoms and the Carib tribes, explored as a whole, pointing elegantly to their interconnections and their specificities. The author has the virtue, in turn, to sharply examine multiple topics that include social structures, religion, rituals and beliefs. It is required reading on the emergence of the indigenous societies of the ancient Caribbean". Francisco Moscoso, Universidad de Puerto Rico, Río Piedras. "The author presents to us sequentially the main cultures that inhabited the Antilles before and during the European impact. For both the Tainos and the Caribs, he explains the main elements of their material and ideal life, highlighting their likeness as well as their differences. A brilliant research work based on archeological and ethnohistorical information". Lourdes Domínguez, Oficina del Historiador de La Habana, Cuba. "The book is a significant contribution to the knowledge of the aboriginal world view in the Antilles. The author analyzes - among other aspects - the intimate correlation that exists between astronomical systems, climatological cycles and magic-religious beliefs, as well as agricultural practices linked to fertility rites. In the same way, his research on the bateyes or ceremonial plazas in the Antilles make plausible the existence of a solar calendar in the process of development and of myth-astronomy in the pre-Columbian islands".

Takes a close look at the relationship between humans and other (non-human) beings that are imbued with cemí power, specifically within the Taíno inter-island cultural sphere encompassing Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Cemís are both portable artifacts and embodiments of persons or spirit, which the Taínos and other natives of the Greater Antilles (ca. AD 1000-1550) regarded as numinous beings with supernatural or magic powers. This volume takes a close look at the relationship between humans and other (non-human) beings that are imbued with cemí power, specifically within the Taíno inter-island cultural sphere encompassing Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. The relationships address the important questions of identity and personhood of the cemí icons and their human “owners” and the implications of cemí gift-giving and gift-taking that sustains a complex web of relationships between caciques (chiefs) of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Oliver provides a careful analysis of the four major forms of cemís—three-pointed stones, large stone heads, stone collars, and elbow stones—as well as face masks, which provide an interesting contrast to the stone heads. He finds evidence for his interpretation of human and cemí interactions from a critical review of 16th-century Spanish ethnohistoric documents, especially the Relación Acerca de las Antigüedades de los Indios written by Friar Ramón Pané in 1497–1498 under orders from Christopher Columbus. Buttressed by examples of native resistance and syncretism, the volume discusses the iconoclastic conflicts and the relationship between the icons and the human beings. Focusing on this and on the various contexts in which the relationships were enacted, Oliver reveals how the cemís were central to the exercise of native political power. Such cemís were considered a direct threat to the hegemony of the Spanish conquerors, as these potent objects were seen as allies in the native resistance to the onslaught of Christendom with its icons of saints and virgins.

This simply written, amply illustrated bilingual book about Classic Taíno ceremonies, myths, rituals, and zemís (spirit guides) is for today's Taíno descendants and those of the future, as well as for anyone with a thirst to know more about the Indigenous people who discovered Christopher Columbus and his men when the Europeans landed on the shores of their Caribbean islands in 1492 The book is not meant to answer all the questions that you may have about the Classic Taíno lifestyles, cultural beliefs, and achievements. Instead, it's to help you and your loved ones learn about some of the basics of Classic Taíno culture, about how they lived and what they believed, and to help you formulate questions that might lead to more research about the Taíno of the past and present. "Classic Taíno" is used to identify most of the Indigenous peoples of the Greater Antilles, which include today's islands of Cuba, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Republic of Haiti), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas. For more than 500 years it was believed that all the Indigenous peoples of the Upper Caribbean became extinct between the 1530s and 1550s. Fortunately, their extinction has recently (late 20th century) been proven to be a detestable historical falsehood. Today, thousands of Taíno descendants, who are of mixed Indigenous, European, and African blood lines, are discovering and reclaiming their Taíno ancestry, history, culture, and language, which have been denied them for so long. The author, Lynne A. Guitar, earned simultaneous B.A.s from Michigan State University in Colonial Latin American History and Cultural Anthropology, and her M.A. and Ph.D. in the same fields from Vanderbilt University. Dr. Guitar has lived, worked, and done research for the past 30+ years in the U.S.A., Spain (half a year), Portugal, Jamaica, Cuba, Puerto Rico (for nearly a year), and the Dominican Republic (for more than 20 years). Dr. Guitar is an adopted member of the Indigenous research group known as Higuayagua Taíno of the Caribbean and is a member of several of their councils. Dr. Guitar retired in 2016 and now lives in Central Florida, where she writes both fiction and non-fiction books about the Taíno. Eleven of her books-with this one 12-are currently available on Amazon.com... and there are more to come. Este libro bilingüe, escrito con sencillez y ampliamente ilustrado sobre ceremonias, mitos, rituales y zemís clásicos taínos (guías espirituales) es para los descendientes de los taínos de hoy y los del futuro, así como para cualquier persona con una sed de saber más sobre los pueblos indígenas que descubrieron a Cristóbal Colón y sus hombres cuando los europeos desembarcaron en las costas de sus islas caribeñas en1492. El libro no pretende responder todas las preguntas que puedan tener sobre los taínos clásicos, sus estilos de vida, creencias culturales y logros. En cambio, es para ayudarlo a usted y a sus seres queridos a aprender sobre algunos de los conceptos básicos de la cultura taína clásica, sobre cómo vivían y en qué creían, y para ayudarlo a formular preguntas que podrían conducir a más investigaciones sobre los taínos del pasado y el presente. Usamos "taínos clásicos" para identificar a la mayoría de los pueblos indígenas de las Antillas Mayores, que incluyen las islas actuales de Cuba, La Española (República Dominicana y República de Haití), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, los Turcos. y Caicos y las Bahamas. Durante más de 500 años se creyó que todos los pueblos indígenas del Caribe se extinguieron entre las décadas de 1530 y 1550. Afortunadamente, recientemente (finales del siglo XX) se ha demostrado que su extinción es una falsedad histórica detestable. Hoy en día, miles de descendientes de los taínos, en su mayoría de linajes mixtos indígenas, europeos y africanos, están descubriendo y reclamando su ascendencia, historia, cultura y lengua

"JosÉ [Barreiro] writes the true story in TaÍno—the Native view of what Columbus brought. Across the Americas, invasion, and resistance, the TaÍno story repeated many times over." – Chief Oren Lyons (Joagquisho), Turtle Clan, Onondaga Nation The story of what really happened when Columbus arrived in the "New World," as told by the TaÍno people who were impacted In 1532, an elderly TaÍno man named GuaikÁn sits down to write his story—an in-depth account of what happened when Columbus landed on Caribbean shores in 1492. As a boy, GuaikÁn was adopted by Columbus, uniquely positioning him to tell the story of Columbus's "discovery," directing our gaze where it rightfully belongs—on the Indigenous people for whom this land had long been home. Revised and updated by author JosÉ Barreiro (himself a descendant of the TaÍno people) with new information and a new introduction, this richly imagined novel updates GuaikÁn's carefully crafted narrative, chronicling what happened to the TaÍno people when Columbus arrived and how their lives and culture were ruptured. Through GuaikÁn's story, Barreiro penetrates the veil that still clouds the "discovery" of the Americas and in turn gives
