Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand - Über dieses Buch >Xango< und der Folgeband >Petersilie< geben Einblicke in ekstatische Einweihungsriten, in den Zusammenhang von Sexualität, Politik und Gewalt, in die Psychologie von Armut und Unterdrückung. Rund fünfzig Millionen Menschen im karibisch-mittel- und lateinamerikanischen Raum hängen diesen aus afrikanischen, christlichen und indianischen Religionen gespeisten Mischkulten an, die Hubert Fichte als erster forschend beobachtet und schriftlich vermittelt hat. Wolf Wondratschek schrieb beim Erscheinen der Erstausgabe: »Hubert Fichte bereiste Bahia, Haiti und Trinidad auf der Suche nach Voudou, dieser großen, in zahllosen Einzelgötter, Mischreligionen und Pflanzenkulte zerfließenden Gemeinschaft der Unterdrückten. Das Buch »Xango« ist der Versuch, persönliche Erfahrungen so ausgedehnt niederzuschreiben, bis daraus der Funke umfassender Information schlägt. Ein Buch also, unterwegs zu einer neuen Wissenschaft, der des Sehens und Beschreibens; und das ist Fichte zumindest geglückt, weil er festhält an seinem Vorteil, als Forscher keine andere Grundausbildung zu haben als ein schier unermüdliches Interesse für den Gegenstand; befreit auch von dem Handikap einer akademischen Unfähigkeit, die Menschen, die Ereignisse und Begebenheiten immer so zu sehen, wie es eine Theorie vorschreibt (...) Unter den deutschen Büchern dieses Jahres: eines ohne Konkurrenz.«. ISBN 9783596254361
