In English
This present volume contains four essays that were written between 1894 to 1896. They were published in Paris by the Revue mensuelle religieuse et politique, under the editorship of Delhomme et Briguet. Generally, these documents reflect the attitude of Haitian intellectuals and religious authorities and more particularly, the sentiment of the Catholic Church towards Vodou. These essays also reveal the religious feeling of foreigners towards the Afro-Caribbean religion. As will be observed, these es-says clearly demonstrate the struggle of Vodou to survive and accepted in the Haitian society as a religion in the 19th century. Perceptibly, they also inform us about the meaning of Vodou in Haitian life and culture, and Vodou as a signifier in the Haitian experience.
