Voodoo in Haiti is a masterwork of observation and description by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the twentieth century. Alfred Métraux (1902-1963) has written a rich and lasting study of the lives and rituals of the Haitian mambos and adepts, and of the history and origins of their religion. It is an accurate and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood cultures in the world. Translated by Hugo Charteris Introduction by Sidney W.

That said, how you feel about the book as a scientific study is up to you. Methods and standard have changed since Metraux was desperately badgering his friends to let him witness religious ceremonies. His sources are primary, the record is oral, and there would be no way to duplicate his observations in 2021. All this to say that it FEELS legit but I'm no ethnographer. If you have experience in the Voodoo religion and find errors in his work, speak up! Almost everyone in the pages is dead, it''s your story now. ( )
