Title: How Voudon Was Viewed Between the Wars
Review: If you know Seabrook, and if you're halfway interested in magic, you should, you know how really well he writes. Most people are going to be interested primarily in the first section, which deals with "voodoo." He was much more open than most people of his era, and took as fair an approach to "voodoo" as was possible for a white man. If it doesn't look much like modern descriptions, that's because the religion is evolving.Of real interest was his observation of the administration of Haiti. I was fascinated.If they ever, ever reissue his "Witchcraft," snatch it up. I have an old copy, and it's wonderful.
