I'm going to read the assata shakur link and reply.

Read it. pretty good overview. She did mention Duvalier bringing Voudou out of the underground and "rehabilitating" it.

For her to go into more detail..she'd need an additional 3 paragraphs to describe Duvalier's background, the historic power struggles in Haiti, the volatility of Haitian politics, and the reasons why Duvalier elected to co-opt so much of voudou's mysticism/imagery.

It's a decent overview of voudou though.

Any book you get your hands on about papa doc's life will go into further detail. and like I said....the Africana encyclopedia is worth getting. I've loaned my copy out or I'd just scan the entry about Voudou, and African faith systems that were transported to the west. hemisphere
