Modern Haitian art has for decades enthralled aficionados and
general art lovers alike. In Arts and Religions of Haiti: How the
Sun Illuminates Under Cover of Darkness, Haitian Scholar, LeGrace
Benson presents a rich examination of the artists and arts of
Haiti, and the complex history and religious practices of the
Haitian people through the creative productions of its craftsmen,
painters and sculptors. In departing from the usual Haitian Art or
Haitian Religion books, Benson explains the relationship of Haitian
art to the culture and uniquely describes the intersection,
interrelation and influence of Judaism and Christianity as well as
Taíno and Islamic traces and the effects of both Masonic and
Rosicrucian orders in shaping Vodou’s belief system and rituals.
In the face of mainstream media’s titillating depictions of an
imagined “Voodoo”, Benson presents Haiti’s deeply spiritual
artists bringing forth energetic visions of healing, liberation and
tranquillity through fascinating art works which manifest the
creativity and undaunted hope of this complex nation. Heralded by
scholars as an important addition to Haitian Studies, Arts and
Religions of Haiti: How the Sun Illuminates Under Cover of Darkness
is the culmination of years of research and field study. It opens
new areas of study and scholarly research and is a remarkable
source of information on Haitian culture and religion but also an
invaluable resource for art historians, anthropologists, historians
and sociologists interested in Caribbean and African religions.
