This text charts the cultural imagination of Haiti, not only by reconstructing the island's history, but by highlighting ambiguities and complexities that have been ignored. It investigates the confrontational space in which Haiti is created and recreated in fiction and fact, text and ritual, discourse and practice. The book also argues for the consideration of both vodou rituals and narrative fiction as repositories of history.
