Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Known in the Dominican Republic and Togo as Vodu, in Benin as
Vodún, and in Haiti as Vodou, West African religion has, for
hundreds of years, served as a repository of sacred knowledge while
simultaneously evolving in response to human experience and
globalization. Spirit Service: Vodún and Vodou in the African
Atlantic World explores this dynamic religion, its mobility, and
its place in the modern world. By examining the systems—ritual
practices, community-based spirit veneration, and spiritual means
of securing opportunity and well-being—alongside the individuals
who worship, this rich collection offers the first comprehensive
ethnographic study of West African spirit service on a broad scale.
Contributors consider social encounters between African/Haitian
practitioners and European / North American spiritual seekers,
economies and histories, funerary rites and spirit possessions, and
examinations of gender and materiality. Offering much-needed
perspective on this historically disparaged religion, Spirit
Service reminds us all that the gods are growing, assimilating, and
demanding recognition and respect.
