A Look Under The Surface,

This review is from: African Vodun: Art, Psychology, and Power (Paperback)
This is a refreshing work that views Vodun from an artistic and psychological perspective, versus a religious or Hoo-Doo search. There is alot of material here you won't readily find anywhere else about the culture of Vodun. There is also great information in one chapter on the realities and impact of the slave trade within Africa that provides a clearer perspective than most such articles.
A very excellent, and intellectual read I enjoyed and is well worth the price. Plainly, Ms. Blier put great effort and thought into this work, and it shows. This is one of the top 10 books a serious student of Vodou should aspire to have and read.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very interesting, a study overview,

This review is from: African Vodun: Art, Psychology, and Power (Paperback)
The far-reaching influence of the West African voodoo, who still exerts a great influence on the people of this region is covered in this book as well as the creation of art and the rituals of the followers. The author succeeded a very good overview.
