Overview
Overview
Scholars, researchers and faith practitioners have characterized the history of Haiti's two dominant religious traditions - Christianity and Vodou - as antagonistic, conflicting, unproductive and lacking in mutual understanding. Historically and practically, the problem between these two faith traditions lies in their resistance to building constructive channels toward mutual understanding, peace, interfaith dialogue, interreligious collaboration and partnership. These pivotal concerns have not only had a tremendous impact on nation-building in Haiti, but have also weakened Haitian democracy and challenged religious freedom and expression.
Exploring the subject through many different theoretical frameworks and epistemological traditions, this volume is an attempt to fill that gap for the English speaking world and make a resource available which will be beneficial to scholars, practitioners, historians and sociologists of religion, as well as the religious communities themselves in Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora.
