Evangelicals, Catholics, and Vodouyizan in Haiti: The Challenges of Living Together

Editat de Celucien L. Joseph, Lewis A. Clorméus
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2024
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.

Recenzii

"Combining the insightful voices of seasoned Haiti experts and exciting emergent scholars, this timely and compelling volume is a must read for anyone interested in religious pluralism in general and contemporary Caribbean religion in particular. Highly recommended!"
"This landmark interdisciplinary volume illuminates religious plurality, transformation, conflict, and interconnection across Haiti and in the Haitian diaspora. The collection's wide-ranging contributions spotlight the complexity of Haiti's religious landscape transhistorically and transnationally, with particular attention to the roots of division and the dynamics of coexistence. This book advances scholarship across multiple fields as well as the project of interfaith dialogue in and beyond Haiti."
