study
of Haitian Vodou will have its VI International Colloquium conjointly with
Haitian Studies Association.

The theme for Haitian Studies, appropriately for this 200th anniversary
year,
centers on the uses of Haitian history as important material for the
construction of the future. The KOSANBA theme this year uses the Gede
spirits
as a trope for the life and death struggles of the Haitian people.
