Published in 1908, 'Cuban Folk-Lore' by L. Roy Terwilliger is a cultural anthropology work that explores the rich traditions, beliefs, and customs of Cuba, focusing on superstitions, witchcraft, and folklore, particularly among the Afro-Cuban population. The book examines the Ñañiguismo society, which merges Catholicism with African spirituality, detailing its rituals and the role of the Brujo or witch doctor. Terwilliger also discusses the historical context of Cuba's indigenous Siboney people, illustrating how their customs influence modern Cuban folklore.
