    <body><![CDATA[This is a book filled with culture, blessings, and curses. Tradition and heritage is recited to us so eloquently by the great Zora Neale Hurston about the peoples of Haiti and Jamaica. While I am currently reading this book, I feel such a connection to the culture that Hurston talks about. <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79058010">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this had been out of print, but I found it just today. Hurston's account of Voudou as practiced in Haiti is supposed to be a terrific view from inside of the religion. I'm already engrossed by this book. I hope it continues to be this good!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Very interesting book. A first of its kind by way of anthropological forays into voodoo traditions in Haiti &amp; Jamaica, but still there was a slight sense of U.S. paternalism even in Hurston's analysis. Surprising, but also interesting.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book came with me to the Dominican Republic because Zora Neal wrote this about Haiti.
