Download or read book Evangelicals Catholics and Vodouyizan in Haiti written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the subject through many different theoretical frameworks and epistemological traditions, this book confronts the history of Haiti's three major practicing religious faiths: Vodou, Roman Catholicism, and Protestant Evangelicalism. Scholars, researchers, and faith practitioners have often depicted relations between these traditions as antagonistic, conflicting, unproductive, and lacking in mutual understanding. With the aim of exploring the possibility of nation building in Haiti and the benefits of interreligious collaboration, contributors to this book consider topics such as the obstacles to interfaith dialogue, religious conflict, interreligious dialogue in schools, race and identity, and religious pluralism. This book will be beneficial to scholars, practitioners, historians, and sociologists of religion, as well as the religious communities themselves in Haiti and the Haitian Diaspora.
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 My Soul Is in Haiti written by Bertin M. Louis, Jr. and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a greater understanding of the spread of Protestant Christianity, both regionally and globally, by studying local transformations in the Haitian diaspora of the Bahamas. In the Haitian diaspora, as in Haiti itself, the majority of Haitians have long practiced Catholicism or Vodou. However, Protestant forms of Christianity now flourish both in Haiti and beyond. In the Bahamas, where approximately one in five people are now Haitian-born or Haitian-descended, Protestantism has become the majority religion for immigrant Haitians. In My Soul Is in Haiti, Bertin M. Louis, Jr. has combined multi-sited ethnographic research in the United States, Haiti, and the Bahamas with a transnational framework to analyze why Protestantism has appealed to the Haitian diaspora community in the Bahamas. The volume illustrates how devout Haitian Protestant migrants use their religious identities to ground themselves in a place that is hostile to them as migrants, and it also uncovers how their religious faith ties in to their belief in the need to “save” their homeland, as they re-imagine Haiti politically and morally as a Protestant Christian nation. This important look at transnational migration between second and third world countries shows how notions of nationalism among Haitian migrants in the Bahamas are filtered through their religious beliefs. By studying local transformations in the Haitian diaspora of the Bahamas, Louis offers a greater understanding of the spread of Protestant Christianity, both regionally and globally.
Download or read book Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith written by Terry Rey and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s, significant numbers of Haitian immigrants began to arrive and settle in Miami. Overcoming some of the most foreboding obstacles ever to face immigrants in America, they, their children, and now their grandchildren, as well as more recently arriving immigrants from Haiti, have diversified socioeconomically. Together, they have made South Florida home to the largest population of native-born Haitians and diasporic Haitians outside of the Caribbean and one of the most significant Caribbean immigrant communities in the world. Religion has played a central role in making all of this happen. Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith is a historical and ethnographic study of Haitian religion in immigrant communities, based on fieldwork in both Miami and Haiti, as well as extensive archival research. Where many studies of Haitian religion limit themselves to one faith, Rey and Stepick explore Catholicism, Protestantism, and Vodou in conversation with one another, suggesting that despite the differences between these practices, the three faiths ultimately create a sense of unity, fulfillment, and self-worth in Haitian communities. This meticulously researched and vibrantly written book contributes to the growing body of literature on religion among new immigrants, as well as providing a rich exploration of Haitian faith communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Caribbean Religions is the definitive reference for Caribbean religious phenomena from a Caribbean perspective. Generously illustrated, this landmark project combines the breadth of a comparative approach to religion with the depth of understanding of Caribbean spirituality as an ever-changing and varied historical phenomenon. Organized alphabetically, entries examine how Caribbean religious experiences have been shaped by and have responded to the processes of colonialism and the challenges of the postcolonial world. Systematically organized by theme and area, the encyclopedia considers religious traditions such as Vodou, Rastafari, Sunni Islam, Sanatan Dharma, Judaism, and the Roman Catholic and Seventh-day Adventist churches. Detailed subentries present topics such as religious rituals, beliefs, practices, specific historical developments, geographical differences, and gender roles within major traditions. Also included are entries that address the religious dimensions of geographical territories that make up the Caribbean. Representing the culmination of more than a decade of work by the associates of the Caribbean Religions Project, The Encyclopedia of Caribbean Religions will foster a greater understanding of the role of religion in Caribbean life and society, in the Caribbean diaspora, and in wider national and transnational spaces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le dilemme de l'identité et de la mondialisation culturelle se pose en Haïti, comme dans l'ensemble du monde. L'enjeu est constitué par les conditions sociales de la mondialisation culturelle qui est véhiculée par l'économie dominante à l'échelle de la planète. La culture se situe au centre d'une dynamique sociale. D'où la question de l'apport de chaque culture locale à une culture mondiale comme alternative à une simple intégration dans une culture mondialisée.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of Caribbean Religions offers a comprehensive overview of Caribbean religions. The Caribbean is a microcosm of the world's religions, but the small geographic space resulted in the encounter of global religions and indigenous religious practices. The racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of this region makes brief introductions to Caribbean religions incapable of truly addressing its complex and diverse religious landscape. The Handbook also elaborates on the diversity of the religious traditions and the national particularity of the region while also considering multiple geographic settings. It mentions how often Caribbean religion is studied through the perspective of a discrete religious tradition or geographic setting"--
Download or read book Vodou and Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue written by Celucien L. Joseph and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vodou and Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue addresses both historical factors and ideological issues that created antagonism and conflict between Christians and Vodouists in Haiti. The book offers practical solutions and strategies to help create a harmonious and peaceful environment between religious practitioners associated with Vodou and Christianity. Toward this goal, this volume considers various perspectives and theories, such as autobiography, anthropology, ethnographic fieldwork, religious experience, and gender to examine the subject matter. This volume offers practical examples and resources on how to engage in interreligious dialogue and promote interreligious education in Haiti. There are three philosophical and practical ideas underlying this book project: (1) it is grounded on the belief that religion has value, and it could bring social goods to different communities and enhance human dignity and justice; (2) it is premised on the idea that dialogue and cooperation are necessary for nation-building and human development (as democratic ideals) and that one of the leading functions of the world’s religious traditions is to promote both cooperation and dialogue through mutual understanding and for the common good; and (3) that the power and public role of religion in society can be used as a major force of unification and peace-building among divergent factions and schools of thought, and to promote reconciliation, mutual respect, and friendship in the world.
Download or read book Medicine and Morality in Haiti written by Paul Brodwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-09-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morality and medicine are inextricably intertwined in rural Haiti, and both are shaped by the different local religious traditions, Christian and Vodoun, as well as by biomedical and folk medical practices. When people fall ill, they seek treatment not only from Western doctors but also from herbalists, religious healers and midwives. Dr Brodwin examines the situational logic, the pragmatic decisions, that guide people in making choices when they are faced with illness. He also explains the moral issues that arise in a society where suffering is associated with guilt, but where different, sometimes conflicting, ethical systems coexist. Moreover, he shows how in the crisis of illness people rework religious identities and are forced to address fundamental social and political problems.
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 LES GLISES PROTESTANTES EN HA TI written by Fritz Fontus and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les protestants ont fait d'immenses progrès en Haïti durant le XXè siècle. Mais cette croissance numérique ne s'est pas accompagnée d'une égale croissance spirituelle. L'œuvre protestante présente de grandes faiblesses dues, pour une large part, à une méthode d'évangélisation qui consiste à transplanter en Haïti les Eglises des pays d'origine de leurs fondateurs. Cela contribue à faire des Eglises haïtiennes des " copies conformes " de leurs Eglises mères.
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 New Faces of God in Latin America written by Virginia Garrard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining historical and ethnographic research methods, along with a thorough review of existing literature on the study of Latin American Christianity, New Faces of God in Latin America addresses the important question of how global religion and local culture interact, situating the experience of Latin American Christianity in the broader conversations in the field of world Christianity, particularly with respect to the growing understanding of Christianity as a non-Western religion. Through case studies of different Pentecostal experiences in Latin America, Virginia Garrard explores cross-pollination and interaction with indigenous religions and cultures, finding widely varied responses to the material and spiritual needs of Latin Americans. The author locates Latin American religious experience within a field known as the "history of non-Western Christianity." This focuses on the experience, perceptions, and adaptations of those who adopt Christianity outside the context of Western missionary or other colonizing projects. The book engages with the intersection of culture and spirit-filled religion, with an eye to how those interactions help frame an alternative religious modernity. Throughout the book, the author uses culture as both a heuristic lens and as a variable within the equation. She argues that culture helps us understand how people engage with and reconfigure global religious flows within their own imaginations and for their own parochial uses.
