  abstract: "The word “voodoo” originated in the United States nearly two hundred years ago. Since its inception, “voodoo” has been a mechanism for prejudiced individuals to invoke all their anxieties and stereotypes about people of African descent. It has been a way to call them uncivilized, superstitious, hypersexual, violent, and cannibalistic, by merely uttering a single word. This book explores public perceptions of “voodoo” as they have varied over time and have shifted to encompass different religious communities, distinct practices, and evolving perceptions about people of African descent, with an emphasis on the intricate connection between stereotypes of “voodoo” and debates about race and human rights. The research for this project has consisted of examining texts published for public consumption such as newspapers, travelogues, magazines, and books"--Publisher's description.
