About the book

This work on the cult of the Virgin Mary in Haiti is one of the most extensive ethnographical studies of religion to be carried out in the Caribbean. A sociological analysis of the extraordinary Marian devotion in Haiti, it reveals the differences between the Marianism of the poor and the rich, explaining how these came about and exploring the symbols, beliefs and practices of Marian devotion with their correspondents in Haitian Voodoo.
