"""Anderson presents a detailed study of the Voodoo religion and its magical component, hoodoo.""--Carolyn Morrow Long, author of A New Orleans Voudou Priestess: The Legend and Reality of Marie Laveau ""From Voodoo queens to hoodoo magic, Jeffrey E. Anderson's Voodoo is a meticulously researched and wide-ranging investigation of the religion's historical trends, cultural influences, and ritual life. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding Voodoo's relationship to the faiths of the African Diaspora, as well as what makes Mississippi River valley Voodoo unique.""--Douglas J. Falen, author of African Science: Witchcraft, Vodun, and Healing in Southern Benin ""From Voodoo's beginnings in the colonial period to the religion's current manifestations, Anderson uses rich storytelling and the complicated life histories of people, places, and otherworldly beings to change how we think about the magical history of the African Atlantic.""--Timothy R. Landry, author of Vodún: Secrecy and the Search for Divine Power"
