A study of Haitian Voudoun culture and spirituality

Maya Deren’s book examines Haitian Voudoun as a living religious and cultural tradition, drawing on the author’s direct encounter with its practices. This revised edition preserves the original photographs and illustrations, and includes a glossary, appendices, an index, and two forewords by Joseph Campbell: the one from the original edition and one added for a later edition. These supporting materials give the volume a reference dimension alongside its account of Voudoun’s culture and spirituality.
