Rara!
Rara is a vibrant annual street festival in Haiti, when followers of the Afro-Creole religion called Vodou march loudly into public space to take an active role in politics. Working deftly with highly original ethnographic material, Elizabeth McAlister shows how Rara bands harness the power of Vodou spirits and the recently dead to broadcast coded points of view with historical, gendered, and transnational dimensions.

Race, Nation, and Religion in the Americas
This collection of all new essays will explore the complex and unstable articulations of race and religion that have helped to produce "Black," "White," "Creole," "Indian," "Asian," and other racialized identities and communities in the Americas. Drawing on original research in a range of disciplines, the authors will investigate: 1) how the intertwined categories of race and religion have defined, and been defined by, global relations of power and inequality; 2) how racial and religious identities shape the everyday lives of individuals and communities; and 3) how racialized and marginalized communities use religion and religious discourses to contest the persistent power of racism in societies structured by inequality. Taken together, these essays will define a new standard of critical conversation on race and religion throughout the Americas.
Priestley Point
It is 1801 and William Priestley, with his wife and young son, are courageously braving the dangers of traveling down the Mississippi River on a flatboat. This immigrant pioneer, the second son of the famous Joseph Priestley, is leaving an oppressive life in rural Pennsylvania in search of a better future and the freedom to choose his own destiny. The original stopping point is to be Natchez, an American territory. Little does he know that this trip instead will end on a plantation in Spanish Colonial Louisiana. Once settled he responds to the realities of plantation life with an inner determination to become successful in ways that were not common practice to the local planters.
