Occasionally in the world of science, unexpected results that appear to violate accepted laws of nature can herald revolutionary advances in human knowledge. Many of these 'revolutionary' discoveries do, however, turn out to be wrong, and eminent scientists must carry the burden of a tarnished reputation for mistakenly thinking they have made a great discovery. In this entertaining text, Robert Park examines the social, economic, and political forces that elicit or support flawed or fake science and then go on to sustain it in the face of often overwhelming contrary evidence. Readers are made aware of the fine line that exists between foolishness and fraud and are warned against irrational beliefs dressed up as scientific garb.

Voodoo in Haiti is a masterwork of observation and description by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the twentieth century. Alfred Métraux has written a rich and lasting study of the lives and rituals of the Haitian mambos and adepts, and of the history and origins of their religion. It is an accurate and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood cultures in the world. “Métraux’s book is a landmark in the serious study of Afro-Atlantic religion. The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology.”—Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit “This is a work deserving of wide readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal.”—Library Journal “This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudou available in the literature....No other observer of vaudou has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred Métraux.”—Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins University

This compelling reference work introduces the religions of Voodoo, a onetime faith of the Mississippi River Valley, and Vodou, a Haitian faith with millions of adherents today. Unlike its fictional depiction in zombie films and popular culture, Voodoo is a full-fledged religion with a pantheon of deities, a priesthood, and communities of believers. Drawing from the expertise of contemporary practitioners, this encyclopedia presents the history, culture, and religion of Haitian Vodou and Mississippi Valley Voodoo. Though based primarily in these two regions, the reference looks at Voodoo across several cultures and delves into related religions, including African Vodu, African Diasporic Religions, and magical practices like hoodoo. Through roughly 150 alphabetical entries, the work describes various aspects of Voodoo in Louisiana and Haiti, covering topics such as important places, traditions, rituals, and items used in ceremonies. Contributions from scholars in the field provide a comprehensive overview of the subject from various perspectives and address the deities and ceremonial acts. The book features an extensive collection of primary sources and a selected, general bibliography of print and electronic resources.

The story is set in the days before the revolution that deposed Baby Doc , and makes several swings between Haiti under the corrupt and repressive military rule, and the small Texas town of Longbottom. A U.S medical team comprising four physicians, a black dentist, Dr. Bailey, and two nurses, Zulla, also black, and Pam fly to Haiti under the leadership of Dr. Bone to conduct free clinics as a start of a help the poor program. During the stopover in Port-au-Prince, they witness a rada(mild) voodoo ceremony, meet shady Minister of Health de Villeneueve, co-sponser of the program, and discover that half their seperately medical supplies are missing. The team travels by minivan though the bleak countryside and over the mountains to the northern city of Cap Haitian, their base for the clinics, driven by the 20-year-old live wire Marcel, who has an important part to play in the story. Bone has a hard time maintaining harmony among his temperamental fellow physicians, one of whom, a married man falls for Pam. The team is put up at the once prosperous hotel owned by a German expatriot Hans Boch. The first and third clinics are conducted in the church of Reverend Purdy, something of a stufed shirt, who has a severly depressed wife, and in the course of his stay Bone befriends Judy Cawthorn. who is doing research on voodoo, and Father Morissot,a Catholic priest who enlists Bone's aide in saving the life of a certain Henri who has been place under a death curse by the powerful and slightly crazed houngan, or head voodoo priest, Chauvelin. During the second clinic, held in a small outlying school/church, Bone receives a threat from a Chauvelin henchman, and on his way back to Cap Haitian glimpses a zombie. Untoward events occur: Bone is nearly struck by a speeding car (careless driving? a warning?), and one morning comes upon signs of a voodoo curse ouside his door. Bailey, his interest piqued by voodoo, visits the home of Mambo Leboux, a local voodoo priestess, and finds evidence of the missing medical supplies. Back in Longbottom, bone's friend Hal, owner of a furniture store, as well as a Justice-of-the-Peace and the towns undertaker, learns that Zulla's husband Jake has seemingly disappeared. Jake, spied on by town gossip Aunt Povey, has been having a fling with a beautician, Gladys, who has drug connections, as Jake once had. Hal and his wife have a wayward adopted son who later features in the plot. In Cap Haitian, de Villeneuve goes to Leboux's house to meet Chavelin and receive from him half the money from the black market sale of the stolen medical supplies. Chauvelin, who has put a death curse on a woman who offended him, kidnaps Bailey and arranges to release Bailey if Bone will not undertake to interfere with the curse. Bone is dramacically relieved of his dilemma by Marcel, and boch rescuses Bailey. while a captive, Bailey had found a phial of zombie powder and takes it out of curosity. Home in Longbottom and reconciled with Jake, Zulla persuades members of her Ebony social club to participate in a trial "rada" voodoo ceremony with largely comic results. Morissot calls Bone to say Henri has been poisoned by Chauvelin, and Bone flies back to Cap Haitian to try and protect the priest, now under threats himself, and see that Chauvelin in brought to justice. In a remote village Chauvelin is about to perform a petro(sinister) voodoo ceremony at which he will sacrifice a baby. Bone goes there with Marcel and Leboux's marksman son Claude. The baby is saved, but Chauvelin escapes (later to be shot by Claude, Bone learns). Bailey has become obsessed with the beautiful Zulla and tries to seduce her, but is repulsed. Though a successful dentist, Bailey has deep psychological scars from hi

Secrets of Voodoo traces the development of this complex religion (in Haiti and the Americas) from its sources in the brilliant civilizations of ancient Africa. This book presents a straightforward account of the gods or loas and their function, the symbols and signs, rituals, the ceremonial calendar of Voodoo, and the procedures for performing magical rites are given. "Voodoo," derived from words meaning "introspection" and "mystery," is a system of belief about the formation of the world and human destiny with clear correspondences in other world religions. Rigaud makes these connections and discloses the esoteric meaning underlying Voodoo's outward manifestations, which are often misinterpreted. Translated from the French by Robert B. Cross. Drawings and photographs by Odette Mennesson-Rigaud. Milo Rigaud was born in Port au Prince, Haiti, in 1903, where he spent the greater part of his life studying the Voodoo tradition. In Haiti he studied law, and in France ethnology, psychology, and theology. The involvement of Voodoo in the political struggle of Haitian blacks for independence was one of his main concerns.
