      ab: The article discusses Carlos U. Decena's book, *Circuits of the Sacred: A Faggotology in the Black Latinx Caribbean*, which aims to create an alternative knowledge system through the lens of queer, black, and Latinx perspectives. Decena employs the term "Faggotology" to challenge conventional academic frameworks and engage with feminist and queer theology, Afro-Caribbean anthropology, and liberation theologies. The book's innovative structure blends autobiographical narratives with rigorous theoretical analysis, reflecting Decena's commitment to interdisciplinarity and intersectionality. Through this work, Decena seeks to redefine knowledge production and articulate the complexities of identity and spirituality within the Black Latinx Caribbean context.
