AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Desmangles analyzes the mythology and rituals of Vodou, the folk religion of Haiti and a by-product of the contact between Roman Catholicism and African and Amerindian traditional religions. Focusing on the inclusion of West African and European elements in Vodouisants' beliefs and practices, Desmangles shows that Vodou is not merely a grafting of European religious traditions onto African stock, but a true creole phenomenon.Desmangles, Leslie G. is the author of 'Faces of the Gods Voodoo and Roman Catholicism in Haiti', published 1992 under ISBN 9780807843932 and ISBN 0807843938.
