Joseph and Cleophat offer to the field of Haitian Studies a very original, comprehensive and complex work that attempt to grasp Haitian Vodou in its complexities.

Vodou in Haitian Memory… is an important and imaginative book for the intellectual understanding of Haitian Vodou in the post-secular age.
