Haitian Vodou breaks away from European and American heuristic
models for understanding a religio-philosophical system such as
Vodou in order to form new approaches with an African ethos. The
contributors to this volume, all Haitians, examine the potentially
radical and transformative possibilities of the religious and
philosophical ideologies of Vodou and locate its foundations more
clearly within an African heritage. Essays examine Vodou s roles in
organizing rural resistance; forming political values for the
transformation of Haiti; teaching social norms, values, and
standards; influencing Haitian culture through art and music;
merging science with philosophy, both theoretically and in the
healing arts; and forming the Haitian "manbo," or priest."
