Deren’s exceptional handling of dense and layered cultural, religious, historical, and spiritual information makes this book but a critical primer to understanding the practice of Haitian Vodou while also making it an engrossing and propulsive page-turner.

If you're worried about leery, disrespectful gazes when reading old ethnographies, don't worry here because Maya Deren is a filmmaker, not an anthropologist.
