El Monte de Lydia Cabrera es una obra maestra de la etnografÃa, una especie de Biblia de las religiones afrocubanas.
Este libro de Cabrera se convirtió en un auténtico best-sellers de este tipo de estudios, atrayendo por igual a los especialistas en la materia, a los creyentes y al público en general.
Su mérito radica, según su propia autora, en que son los mismos negros de Cuba los que hicieron este libro:
Ha sido mi propósito ofrecer a los especialistas, con toda modestia y la mayor fidelidad, un material que no ha pasado por el filtro peligroso de la interpretación, y de enfrentarlos con los documentos vivos que he tenido la suerte de encontrar.
La definición del monte como espacio sagrado, alude también como origen directamente al cuerpo y a un saber femenino:
Engendrador de la vida somos hijos del monte porque la vida empezó allà [...] el monte equivale a Tierra en el concepto de Madre universal, fuente de vida, tierra y monte es lo mismo.
Si el monte es el principio del origen del mundo, es el monte femenino, origen de la sexualidad y de la vida.
El monte es sagrado porque en él residen, viven divinidades. Los santos están más en el monte que en el cielo.
Linkgua edita El Monte por primera vez en digital acercándolo a todos sus admiradores y los muchos interesados en las religiones africanas y las culturas yoruba, mandinga y carabalÃ.
