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.

Celucien L. Joseph is Professor and Chair of the English Department at San Jacinto College, USA. Lewis A. Clorméus is an associate research scholar in the Department of African American Studies at Yale University, USA.
