"Haiti seems to be on a fault line of history", is the haunting first line of the introduction, written only two weeks before the earthquake that devastated the country, consequently cancelling the Kanaval celebrations that year. This deeply fascinating book shows the beautiful and strange world of Vodou, sex, death, and tradition in the long-suffering people of Haiti. Despite political unrest, natural disaster, famine and poverty, the Haitian spirit is creative, exhilarating and passionate, eternally marked by the slave revolt which gave birth to the world's first Black Republic.
