- W367014719 abstract "The religion of Vodou as it is practised in New Orleans has undergone significant changes over the last two hundred and fifty years. These have included shifts from a very public profile to being practically hidden and from a focus of personal gain and empowerment to community healing. These changes can be linked to the social changes taking place in the city. New Orleans has experienced multiple international administrations, regular hurricanes, periodic bouts of yellow fever and malaria, complicated racial relations, civil war, emancipation, segregation, reconstruction and devastation. It was originally part of a French colony, was later transferred to Spanish ownership, and returned briefly to France before being purchased by the American Government in 1804, but its cultural heritage is much harder to define. Since its earliest days its residents established their own ethics, which outsiders often found shocking or disturbing. In the eighteenth century, French white settlers began having children with their African slaves, producing a group of people known as mulattos, who spoke French, were often educated, and lived constantly between two worlds. Race became more complicated than the colour of one’s skin, and social relationships followed intricate paths between slaves, white owners, and the free people of colour. This thesis examines how the religion of Vodou has responded to social change in New Orleans and, in typical Vodou fashion, how it has adapted in order to survive. A combination of ethnographic fieldwork and historical research is used, and is contextualised within a broad framework of social change theory, although the entire approach is multidisciplinary. It also examines the nature of spiritual leadership, and the ways in which Vodou leaders are perceived within their broader communities, as well as the impact individual leaders have had on the practise of the religion." @default.
