Rara! Vodou, Power, and Performance in Haiti and Its Diaspora FREE DOWNLOAD
Rara is a vibrant annual street festival in Haiti, when followers of the
Afro-Creole religion called Vodou march loudly into public space to
take an active role in politics. Working deftly with highly original
ethnographic material, Elizabeth McAlister shows how Rara bands harness
the power of Vodou spirits and the recently dead to broadcast coded
points of view with historical, gendered, and transnational dimensions.
