Description
The Serpent and the Rainbow In 1982, Wade Davis embarked on a journey to understand a mysterious phenomenon in Haiti - the re-emergence of people believed to be dead. His investigation led him into the heart of the Vodoun culture, where he uncovered a complex web of rituals and celebrations. As he delved deeper, Davis began to see the story of Vodoun as a rich tapestry of Haitian history, from its African roots to the country's struggle for independence. Through his research, Davis shed light on a practice that had long fascinated Americans - zombification. He explored the cultural context in which this phenomenon occurred, revealing the intricate relationships between the people, their traditions, and the land. The result is a fascinating account that combines anthropological investigation with a personal adventure, offering a unique perspective on a subject that has captivated many. This book provides a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of culture, history, and the human experience.
