Very informative on probably the most misunderstood religion on the planet. The author gives cultural and historical context to the religion. However, the book veers back and forth between academic study and intimate portrait. If you're looking for one you'll be disappointed by the other. It is still worth a read if your interested in vodoun, though.

A fantastic study of a Vodou priestess who operates out of her house in Brooklyn. Brown is highly respectful of the Vodou religious tradition, and as her study of Mama Lola progresses, she herself becomes deeply intwined in Mama Lola's life and the lives of her fellow worshippers.
