This pre-loved hardback book by Leah Gordon contains over 300 stunning Vodou artifacts from the internationally acclaimed Marianne Lehmann Collection which are at the heart of this belief system. The exhibition demystifies a spiritual traditional that is still very much the heart and soul of Haiti and among Haitians abroad. The Haitian practice of Vodou has been shaped by a history of slavery, oppression and resistance and is far removed from the myths of Hollywood (such as the James Bond film "Live and Let Die"). Vodou is both a spirituality and a cultural movement that celebrates the past and present of the Haitian people.
