THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 287: The History of Haitian Voodoo w/ Dr. Paul Mocombe

With the close of Haitian heritage month this May 2022, Haitians throughout the diaspora are celebrating their revolutionary history and its significance. An important aspect of Haitian cultural expression that often faces less praise as an element of Haitian life is Haitian Vodou. As a spiritual manifestation that has deep roots in Haitian society, Haitian Vodou is often mischaracterized and pejoratively deemed as a cultural fetishism. In this episode we will seek to dismiss the myths and stereotypes about Haitian Vodou and clarify its cosmological foundations and core beliefs   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
