Also available as:

After Haiti's recent earthquake, various American commentators - from Pat Robertson to David Brooks - joined a long tradition of blaming Vodou for the country's woes. This book examines that vexed history, asking why, from 1835 to 1987, Haiti banned many popular ritual practices.
