| Description: |
The first and only insider's account of Vodou's private, mystical, interior practice, a compelling story of initiation and transformation. |
| Synopsis: |
Mimerose Beaubrun is a co-founder of international world music sensation Boukmans Eksperyans. The group tours on a regular basis, and their prominence in the world of Haitian music, especially drawing from the traditional chants and rhythms of Voudou ceremonies -- Haiti's national religion -- means that Mimerose is already well known as an ambassador of Haitian culture.Madison Smartt Bell, famed for his works on Haiti, is going to be advocating for this work. He wrote the preface and will be available for some press and possible events with the author.Interest in non-mainstream religions is heightened as the country becomes populated more densely with people from cultures with these practices, specifically in this case, African diasporic communities in the Carribean, Central and South America.Stories of spiritual initiation hold a wide appeal, and this is the only first-person story of an initiation into one of the world's most misunderstood traditions.The community of people interested in magic, vision quests, trance and possession, not to mention ethnology and anthropology will be interested in this work. |
