Book Information Genre: HISTORY / Caribbean & West Indies / General Publication: Dec 30, 2011 Pages: 86 Books by Yonie Richard Potions that turn people into zombies. Poisons that are biological weapons any terrorist would envy. Bloody, sacrificial ceremonies that appease malevolent spirits. These are the tools of the voodoo practitioner. These are the sources of all Haiti’s trouble. In 1804 Haiti became the first black led republic in the world and the first nation in Latin America to win its independence, yet today its population is far worse off than it was two hundred years ago. How could that be? Voodoo Intersection shows how Haitian voodoo beliefs and practices have caused the devastating poverty, crime and disease in Haiti today, and it provides valuable new insight into the long term plight of a once proud and noble Haitian culture. About Yonie Richard Yonie Richard grew up in the small town of Hinche, Haiti, and moved to Port-au-Prince when she was seventeen. After attending engineering school, she worked for the Duvalier regime. Every Wednesday and Saturday in the capital city she would see the zombies coming into market to do the shopping for their masters. She finally immigrated to America, but on her return visits to her homeland through 2010, she has seen more and more of the devastating effects on her people from the degraded voodoo practices unique to Haiti. She wrote Voodoo Intersection so that future generations of her people will descend no further down this terrible dwindling spiral. Self Publishing © 2012 Outskirts Press, Inc. 10940 S.
