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; mergingscience with philosophy, both theoretically and in the healing arts; and forming theHaitian "manbo," or priest.
