vincentkonrad's review against another edition
3.0
A fascinating account of voodoo and Haitian culture. Who knows how reliable it is.
Though the narrator is quick to defend the validity of the things he records and the humanity of the people involved, and notes other contrasting attitudes as, there is nonetheless an undertone of kindly racism in his characterisation of the Haitians as naive and childlike in their ways.
