A Mosaic of Ninety Miniatures in French and English, translated from the French by Anne Pease McConnell. Haitian Laughter is constructed around the lodyans, a narrative genre that has blossomed in Haiti as an art of miniatures. The substantial reduction in scale that presides over their creation allows only the significant features to remain, like a medieval illumination, a Japanese bonsai, or simply a small sized map of an immense territory. This makes each miniature a "dwarf sized saga," which lets us glimpse the larger dimension of the original of which it is a reduced model. Bilingual, French and English.

Umbanda is an urban 20th-century phenomenon, often described in the literature as Brazil¿s first ¿national¿¿or truly ¿Brazilian¿¿ religion. Early on, Umbanda was thought to bridge elitist forms of European-derived spirit mediumship and racially stigmatized Afro-Brazilian traditions. Through analysis of narratives of spirit possession and mediumship, we discover how Umbandists experience a creative dialogue between cultural norms and a cosmos that often transcends them. In Umbanda it is through the body, its senses, and its experience that the spirits become present. The fascinating life stories and narratives of a variety of practitioners are the heart of this book of the experiences that are Umbanda.
