In the Caribbean nation of Haiti, voodoo is still widely practiced. Haiti is a country of many contrasts: modern/primitive, rich/poor, black/white, and voodoo/Catholicism. Despite the efforts of the Catholic Church, most poor villagers practice some form of voodoo, a religion which has been passed down in the villages since the nineteenth century. Voodoo and the Church in Haiti examines Haitian life in general and some voodoo practices in particular.—Ken Miller <wkmiller704@yahoo.com>
