The Vodou Ethic and the Spirit of Communism: The Practical Consciousness of the African People of Haiti

By Paul C. Mocombe

Using a variant of structuration theory, what Paul C. Mocombe calls phenomenological structuralism, this work explores and highlights how the African religion of Vodou and its ethic gave rise to the Haitian spirit of communism and the "counter-plantation system" (Jean Casimir's term) in the provinces and mountains of Haiti.
