Download or read book tat religions et politique en Ha ti XVIIIe XXIe s written by Lewis Ampidu Clorméus and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2014 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Mis à part le terrible séisme de 2010, Haïti est pour la plupart d'entre nous associé au vodou, à la grande pauvreté, à l'incapacité à accéder durablement à la démocratie. Un retour à l'histoire est plus que jamais indispensable pour tenter de dépasser ces stéréotypes et comprendre sa société et sa culture. Tel est l'objectif de ce dossier qui croise les approches de l'histoire, de la sociologie, de l'anthropologie et des sciences politiques afin d'analyser les rapports des religions à l'État et à la politique. Il s'efforce d'inscrire cette lecture dans la durée, depuis l'accession à l'indépendance acquise dans la lutte, contre l'esclavage et la colonisation française, jusqu'au temps présent marqué par la dictature des Duvalier, son renversement et des essais de démocratie. Si le catholicisme occupe une place importante et bénéficie d'un statut privilégié depuis 1860, il a partagé le champ religieux avec le vodou et il a dû se confronter à un protestantisme aux visages multiples, désormais en forte expansion dans sa version évangélique, et composer avec une franc-maçonnerie déiste, influente parmi les élites. Cette histoire mouvementée éclaire les difficultés rencontrées pour faire surgir aujourd'hui un espace public démocratique, pacifié, autonome vis-à-vis de forces religieuses concurrentes qui n'ont pas renoncé à imposer leurs valeurs, leurs idéaux et leurs intérêts".
Download or read book Black Man on the Titanic written by Serge Bile and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of one of the black passengers on the Titanic, for history readers and fans of Hidden Figures and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Joseph Laroche was an anomaly among the passengers of the Titanic. He was exceptionally well-educated in a time when few black men had access to an education―and when even fewer were able to travel on a luxurious ship in first or second class. So, who was Joseph Laroche? And where was he going? This biography recounts the life of Joseph Laroche, his part in the history of Haiti, and how he, as a 24-year-old father of two (soon to be three) children, ended up on the last ship of that era of glamourous travel. He was a direct descendant of the father of Haitian independence and related to two Haitian presidents. As an engineer, Laroche contributed to the construction of the Parisian railway and had a promising future ahead of him. Ivorian-French writer Serge Bilé offers a fresh perspective on the tragedy that still fascinates millions and has inspired dozens of books and films. With thorough research in Haiti and France, Bilé unearths the story of the intriguing figure of Joseph Laroche. This is an account of multi-cultural black history and of the political and natural forces that converged on one man. Praise for Black Man on the Titanic “A revelation.”—Mitchell Kaplan, founder of Books & Books “An absorbing and rewarding read.”—Leonard Carpenter, author of Lusitania Lost and Conan the Savage
Download or read book The Faces of the Gods written by Leslie G. Desmangles and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vodou, the folk religion of Haiti, is a by-product of the contact between Roman Catholicism and African and Amerindian traditional religions. In this book, Leslie Desmangles analyzes the mythology and rituals of Vodou, focusing particularly on the inclusion of West African and European elements in Vodouisants' beliefs and practices. Desmangles sees Vodou not simply as a grafting of European religious traditions onto African stock, but as a true creole phenomenon, born out of the oppressive conditions of slavery and the necessary adaptation of slaves to a New World environment. Desmangles uses Haitian history to explain this phenomenon, paying particular attention to the role of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century maroon communities in preserving African traditions and the attempts by the Catholic, educated elite to suppress African-based "superstitions." The result is a society in which one religion, Catholicism, is visible and official; the other, Vodou, is unofficial and largely secretive.
Download or read book Mis re religion et politique en Ha ti written by André Corten and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre étudie les différents courants religieux (vaudou, catholicisme, protestantisme classique, pentecôtismes y compris renouveau charismatique, etc.) qui traversent la société haïtienne. L'étude est basée sur une enquête de terrain (centaines d'interviews de pasteurs, de fidèles et de témoins privilégiés et observation de très nombreux cultes dans tout le pays). Elle s'intègre dans une problématique où le religieux est vu dans son mode d'institution du politique. La profusion d'imaginaires religieux favorise un discours social centré sur la diabolisation et les " forces persécutives du mal ". Ce discours est une réponse au caractère incompréhensible de la déshumanisation produite par la misère absolue (accentuée ces cinquante et même dix dernières années). Il permet aussi aux élites de classes moyennes haïtiennes fascinées par cette déshumanisation de composer avec elle. Cette fascination se concrétise notamment dans une attraction/répulsion face à la criminalisation et à la lumpenprolétarisation (dispositifs, d'autodéfense, brigades de vigilance, etc.). Lorsque le mal politique se déclare, la syntaxe qu'il instaure en vient à classer les comportements en catégories impératives (soumission, révolte impuissante ou mise à profit de la déshumanisation). Certains comportements échappent à ce classement parce qu'ils ont inversé le discours social de la diabolisation. Portés par des mouvements religieux, ils ne fournissent pas, cependant, une alternative politique malgré les prétentions de leurs porte-parole mais peuvent obliger le politique à se déclarer.
Download or read book Revolutionary Change and Democratic Religion written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Revolutionary Change and Democratic Religion, Celucien Joseph provides a fresh and careful reexamination of Haiti’s intellectual history by focusing on the ideas and writings of five prominent thinkers and public intellectuals: Toussaint Louverture, Joseph Antenor Firmin, Jacques Roumain, Dantes Bellegarde, and Jean Price-Mars. The book articulates a twofold argument. First of all, Haiti has produced a strong intellectual tradition from the revolutionary era to the postcolonial present, and that Haitian thought is not homogeneous and monolithic. Joseph puts forth the idea that the general interweaving themes of rhetoric, the race concept, race vindication, universal emancipation, religious pluralism, secular humanism, the particular and the universal, and cosmopolitanism are representative of Haiti’s intellectual tradition. Secondly, the book also contends that Haitian intellectuals have produced a religious discourse in the twentieth century that could be phrased religious metissage. The religious ideas of these thinkers have been shaped by various forces, ideologies, religious traditions, and philosophical schools. In the same way, the religious experience of the Haitian people should be understood in terms of conflicting, heterodox, and pluralistic manifestations of religious piety, as the people in Haiti reacted to the crisis of slavery, Western colonialism and imperialism, and the arrogance of race in modernity in their striving to reposition themselves within the framework of universal and human metanarratives. The book departs from the dominant (contemporary) Vodou scholarship that is often characteristic of North American and Western studies on the religious life of the Haitian people and Haitian thinkers.
Download or read book Voodoo in Haiti written by Andre J. Louis and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Haiti is a fascinating country of contrast where are joined together tradition and illiteracy, high religion and folk religion, light and darkness. It is a country ravaged by poverty and afflicted by a considerable social backwardness where people live in a constant fear of a heavy and gloomy threat which impregnates every fiber of the society in which they live: that of Voodoo. Through this captivating work, Dr. Andre J. Louis translates us into a world that most ordinary people would never even imagine the existence of such occultism where superstition, sorcery, magic, spiritism, divination, and animism combine all their strength in order to set up the background of the daily life of each Haitian, which, unfortunately, overwhelms him with a heavy weight of fear, economic bondage and uncertainty regarding his future."
Download or read book The Vodou Ethic and the Spirit of Communism written by Paul C. Mocombe and published by UPA. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a variant of structuration theory, what Paul C. Mocombe calls phenomenological structuralism, this work explores and highlights how the African religion of Vodou and its ethic, i.e., syncretism, materialism, communal living or social collectivism, democracy, individuality, cosmopolitanism, spirit of social justice, xenophilia, balance, harmony, and gentleness, gave rise, under the leadership of oungan yo, manbo yo, gangan yo, and granmoun yo, to the Haitian spirit of communism and the “counter-plantation system” (Jean Casimir’s term) in the provinces and mountains of Haiti. What Mocombe calls the Vodou Ethic and the spirit of communism of the African people of Haiti would be juxtaposed against the Catholic/Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism of the white, mulatto, gens de couleur, and petit-bourgeois free black classes of the island. This latter worldview, the Catholic/Protestant Ethic and the spirit of capitalism, Mocombe goes on to argue, exercised by the free bourgeois blacks and mulatto elites, Affranchis, on the island undermined the revolutionary and independence movement of Haiti commenced by subjects/agents, oungan yo, manbo yo, gangan yo/dokté fey, and granmoun yo, of the Vodou ethic and the spirit of communism, and made it the poorest, most racist, and tyrannical country in the Western Hemisphere.
Download or read book Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-12-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions investigates the intersections of history, literature, race, religion, decolonization, and freedom that led to the founding of the postcolonial state of Haiti in 1804. Particular attention is given to the place of religion in the Haitian Revolution, as well as to the interpretation and representation of this singular event in the work of Frederick Douglass and Langston Hughes. This book not only examines the multiple legacies and the problems of Enlightenment modernity, imperial colonialism, Western racism, and hegemony, but also studies their complex relationships with the institutions of slavery, religion, and Black freedom. Topics range from Makandal’s postcolonial religious imagination to Boukman’s liberation theology to Langston Hughes’ discussion of the role of prophetic religion in the Haitian Revolution. Haitian Modernity and Liberative Interruptions also compares Du Bois’s theory of double consciousness with Fanon’s theory of decolonization and revolutionary humanism.
