Creole & Vodou in Haiti
On January 14, 2010, two days after the catastrophic earthquake that crushed Port-Au-Prince and the surrounding towns, the journalist David Brooks published a column in the New York Times in which he claimed that "voodoo" is a "progress-resistant" cultural influence because it spreads the message that "life is capricious and planning futile." Alongside Brooks, many authors, especially those who profess Christianity, proclaim similarly prejudicial views. In this presentation, Asst. Prof. Benjamin Hebblethwaite of the University of Florida looks at the historical factors and the linguistic policies that have benefitted Haiti's French-language institutions while suffocating Haitian-Creole ones, like the Vodou religion.
