Culture and Customs of Haiti by J Michael Dash
Culture and Customs of Haiti begins with an overview of the mountainous island that seemed forbidding to European colonizers. Finally, chapters on the performing arts and visual arts evoke the energy and color of the people in such forms as vaudou jazz and dance, contemporary rara rock, and the folkloric influence on Haitian painting.
[D]ash has given us a book which is worth readingIf it raises more questions than it answers, that is in the very nature of his subject: the complex, elusive and invariably intellectually intractable panorama of Haitian history. * Caribbean Studies *
