Thank you Poca, for providing that link. I think there should be more discussion on the history of Haiti and especially the African sacred sciences such as Voodoo [Vodun]. It may do much in the long process to re-orient the thinking of Caribbean people

That was very informative Poca. All of us from the English speaking countrys tend to learn about each others culture more than Haiti because of the language barrier. With so many Haitian living in the NYC area we should learn more about each others culture.

well i just wanted to share this link because even if i am haitian and i know about the history and stuff i still learned a lot of new things that i didn't know and what i liked the most was the style of writing, the author didn't dramatize on the fact that the country is so poor and things.....
