Originally published in Germany in 1932, Loederers account of his adventures in Haiti has long been out of print. The authors own Art Deco-style woodcuts add to the exotic appeal of this volume, which chronicles the vanishing African traditions of the islands people.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'A valuable anthropological artifact.readers come to realize Haiti's connections with Louisiana, especially the River Parishes.' --L'Observateur 'A long-lost charmer about a trip within the Haitian interior of another era. . . [contains] very evocative woodcuts by the author that add to the total otherness of what and where he is, going from the wild 20's jazz scene in New York to the all-but-unbelievable scenes he was witness to in the cacophonous darkness of a voodoo ceremony.' --The Courier-Gazette (Rockland, ME)'The drums took on a different rhythm, rattling out a sharp staccato message, accompanied by the heavy pounding of the bass. Faster and faster flew the feet of the dancers as they whirled round the fire. Their smooth muscles writhed and cramped as under the blows of an invisible whip.'From his steamer voyage from Jazz Age New York to Cap Haitien to his punishing trek through the island's interior jungle to his rapt, yet fearful, attendance at an authentic voodoo ceremony, Richard A. Loederer captures the sights, sounds, and sensations of this mysterious Caribbean republic. Originally published in German in 1932, Loederer's eyewitness account of his adventures in Haiti has long been out of print. The author's own art-deco-style woodcuts add to the exotic appeal of this volume, which chronicles the vanishing African traditions of the island's people. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781589803626
