In one of my classes we're studying syncretic religions and it's gotten my head spinning with possibilities. But I'm incurably white. Is it at all okay for me to write about a religion like Vodou, or Santería, or Native American traditions? Obviously there would be an immense responsibility to do the research and write respectfully, but if I did that would it be okay? And what would be an acceptable source for syncretic religions, if I did (assuming it would be okay)? I'm asking because I've been in spaces where white people practicing those religions is severely discouraged, so I don't know if me writing it would be overstepping my bounds.
Can a white writer write a (i.e.) Vodou practitioner?
