Chains and Rainbows Over the Atlantic
View through CrossRef
Royalist Christians and royalist Vodunist counterparts led enslaver classes. The king of Dahomey’s grandiosity and royal religion that included mass human sacrifices to dead kings, were sharply distinct from the spirit-based traditions of the people he and his armies enslaved. Captured in raids, convicted of crimes, debts or adultery, multitudes were adjudicated for sale. Dahomey, Allada, and Hueda raided neighbours who in turn raided them. Centuries of raiding between Dahomey and Oyo kingdoms are reflected in Haitian Vodou’s complex layers. This book explores Africa and Haiti as distinct worlds in a dialectical historical relationship. Reading for the transatlantic history of Haitian Vodou recovers Africa’s impact on Haiti and Haiti’s significance for understanding Africa’s past and present. Breaking with the compartmentalization that splits Haitian from African studies, and from the dominant “post-disembarkation” orientation to Haitian history, the dialectical, hermeneutical and transatlantic approaches seek new understandings of Haitian Vodou.
