Subject: RE: Bibliography on Vodou

Thanks to Bob Corbett for passing on the student bibliography.

I would also refer students and scholars to the massive book-length bibliography compiled by John Gray with a foreword by Robert Farris Thompson:

Ashe, Traditional Religion and Healing in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Diaspora.
NY: Greenwood Press, 1989.

It has about 50 pages on Haitian Vodou, plus listings for the other islands and all parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.
