It sheds light on recent Haitian political history, including the meteoric rise under Duvalier of the Tonton Macoute. By explaining zombification as a rational process within the context of traditional Vodoun society, Davis demystifies one of the most exploited of folk beliefs, one that has been used to denegrate an entire people and their religion.ZombiismHaitiBizango (Cult)TetrodotoxinPhysiological effectHaitiReligious life and customsHaitiSocial life and customsEthnography.ZombiismBizango (Cult)TetrodotoxinPhysiological effect.299/.65Davis Wade1659487MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812257703321Passage of darkness4095654UNINA
