Zombies: More to be Pitied Than Censored
This is the story of an American anthropologist who receives a rare entry into Haitian folk medicine of African origin. He meets a zombie and learns how he came to be a zombie. He quarreled with his brother who had him poisoned. He appeared to die and was buried. He was dug up and revived and sold into slavery. He was kept doped up and without a will of his own. He did not eat anyone's brains. He was harmless. The author's pharmacology has been questioned. But not his description of the zombie he met.
