City Lights Publishing Releases NAN DOMI and SPYING ON DEMOCRACY

Like all the great religions, Vodou has an external, public practice of rituals and ceremonies, and also an internal, mystical dimension. Before Nan Dòmi, works about Vodou have concentrated on the spectacular outward manifestations of its observance—hypnotic drumming and chanting, frenetic dancing, fits of spirit possession. But practically all reports on Vodou are outsider accounts, which means that they are stopped at the threshold. This is the only telling of Vodou's private, mystical practice available, spoken from Vodou's purest heart.
