  <default-description>&lt;P&gt;As a first-hand account of the weird mysteries and horrors of voodoo, &lt;I&gt;Tell My Horse&lt;/I&gt; is an invaluable resource and fascinating guide. Based on Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica, where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer of voodoo practices during her visits in the 1930s, this travelogue into a dark world paints a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies and customs and superstitions of great cultural interest.&lt;/P&gt;</default-description>

    <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. The problem is that while she is sympathetic and doesn't belittle   Vodou  (Anglicised as Voodo), she  utterly fails to bring it to life or create roots so it can  grow into the readers conscientious.

    <body><![CDATA[A really fun travelogue and account of Jamaica and Haiti, with flashes of Hurston's signature satiric wit and stunning metaphoric imagery. It's messier than her others--it feel patched-together and you can sense the tension between the anthropologist and and the novelist.

Strange, unusual- right up my aisle of favored books.<br/>It also pissed me off to read about the treatment of women by men in the Carribean, yeah call me a typical american woman I don't care.
