Unique, exceptional document of a voodoo initiation. Experience lived by a Haitian anthropologist, co-founder of the Boukman Eksperyans group.

In this book, Mimerose P. Beaubrun retraces the experiences she has had since the day she decided to research the "lakou". The lakou is a traditional place of community education and an extended family structure, the land is most often jointly owned, it is a conservatory of traditions, a place of transmission of knowledge and values.

With Nan dòmi, Mimerose P. Beaubrun testifies to her experiences and explains the methods and techniques used by Tansia (her master) during her apprenticeship. The concepts of Haitian voodoo, freed from all prejudices, appeared clearly.
This is an exceptional document that tells of a voodoo initiation experienced from the "inside". No text exists in French that relates this type of experience. The author, a doctoral student in anthropology, recounted her experience through the dual prism of research and that of personal and intimate experience.
