Book excerpt: From painting and sculptures to papier-mache and gorgeously embellished Vodou flags, Russell's book is a celebration of the best examples in each medium produced in Haiti in the last seven decades. The misunderstood religion of Vodou informs much of the art. Learn about the diverse history of Haitian artistic schools, including the depiction of ordinary life in the Cap-Haitien style, and the mysterious and haunting images that make Saint Soleil so appealing. This mixture of work by masters like Hector Hyppolite and younger, emerging artists, demonstrates the importance of the bond between past, present, and future generations. Irreplaceable artworks, as well as hundreds of thousands of lives, were destroyed in the 2010 earthquake. In this historically important book, see how this resilient nation rebuilds itself while thoughtfully preserving its heritage and culture through art.

Download or read book Vodou Nation written by Michael Largey and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Haitian musical tradition is probably best known for the Vodou-inspired roots music that helped topple the two-generation Duvalier dictatorship, the nation’s troubled history of civil unrest and its tangled relationship with the United States is more intensely experienced through its art music, which combines French and German elements of classical music with Haiti's indigenous folk music. Vodou Nation examines art music by Haitian and African American composers who were inspired by Haiti’s history as a nation created by slave revolt. Around the time of the United States’s occupation of Haiti in 1915, African American composers began to incorporate Vodou-inspired musical idioms to showcase black artistry and protest white oppression. Together with Haitian musicians, these composers helped create what Michael Largey calls the “Vodou Nation,” an ideal vision of Haiti that championed its African-based culture as a bulwark against America’s imperialism. Highlighting the contributions of many Haitian and African American composers who wrote music that brought rhythms and melodies of the Vodou ceremony to local and international audiences, Vodou Nation sheds light on a black cosmopolitan musical tradition that was deeply rooted in Haitian culture and politics.

Book excerpt: it awakens an appreciation for the imagination and creativity of the Haitian artists even in those whose provincialism would limit their preferences to the Western artistic tradition. Professor Leslie Desmangles Professor of Religion and International Studies Trinity University Modern Haitian art has for decades enthralled aficionados and general art lovers alike. In Arts and Religions of Haiti: How the Sun Illuminates Under Cover of Darkness, Haitian Scholar, LeGrace Benson presents a rich examination of the artists and arts of Haiti, and the complex history and religious practices of the Haitian people through the creative productions of its craftsmen, painters and sculptors. In departing from the usual Haitian Art or Haitian Religion books, Benson explains the relationship of Haitian art to the culture and uniquely describes the intersection, interrelation and influence of Judaism and Christianity as well as Taino and Islamic traces and the effects of both Masonic and Rosicrucian orders in shaping Vodou s belief system and rituals. In the face of mainstream media s titillating depictions of an imagined Voodoo, Benson presents Haiti s deeply spiritual artists bringing forth energetic visions of healing, liberation and tranquillity through fascinating art works which manifest the creativity and undaunted hope of this complex nation. Heralded by scholars as an important addition to Haitian Studies, Arts and Religions of Haiti: How the Sun Illuminates Under Cover of Darkness is the culmination of years of research and field study. It opens new areas of study and scholarly research and is a remarkable source of information on Haitian culture and religion but also an invaluable resource for art historians, anthropologists, historians and sociologists interested in Caribbean and African religions.
