American Odyssey
Caribbean immigrants have now become part of the social landscape of many American cities. Few studies, however, have treated in detail the process of their integration in American society. American Odyssey assesses the development and adaptation, in both human and socio-economic terms, of the Haitian immigrant community in three boroughs of New York City. An informed and well-rounded portrayal of a Caribbean community in New York, this book offe…

This book explains the transformation of the nation into a cosmonation (or multisite nation) through the reunification of the homeland with its diaspora. The book elaborates on how the mechanisms of l
Cosmonational Integration of Diaspora Enclaves
This essay re-conceptualizes diasporic integration as an object of study in order to unveil the true nature and parameters of the problem. In contrast to previous studies of immigrant communities, which use the assimilation, multiculturalism, or transnationalism approach in the deconstruction of ethnic formations, this new model of integration–the cosmonational model–relocates the ethnic enclave inside a global circuit of interactions, views it a…
Network Governance of Global Religions
This study seeks to explain three models of network governance embedded in digital practices that the mainstream monotheistic religions—Judaism, Catholic Christianity, and Islam—have used to lead and manage the worldwide distribution of their local nodes, exploring the connection between network governance and its digital embeddedness and showing how the latter enhances the performance of the former.
A Cosmonational Theory of Global Neighborhoods
The ethnic neighborhood has been for many years an object of sociological observation, investigation, and analysis because of its marginal structural position, geographical location, subaltern inscription in the urban landscape, political disempowerment, religious institutions, criminal undertakings, racial segregation, informal commerce, and police brutality. It is often depicted in the scholarly literature as an enclave, a ghetto, a quarter, a …

Virtual Time
Like space, time takes on different characteristics in the digitized city. The Internet has contributed to a new way of problematizing time as embodied in human agency and social institutions, a time that is produced on a global scale, irrespective of time zones. This essay examines the contours, content and deployment of virtual time and of the cyberweek that it makes possible. It contrasts real time with virtual time to show the malleability of…
Subaltern and Hegemonic Holidays
The temporal disjuncture of some ethnic weekly cycles in relation to the civil week that we have examined thus far is just one aspect of a larger problem of multicultural asynchronization. The yearly cycle is another aspect of this temporal disjuncture. New York city is traversed by several diasporic new years and other annual holidays that do not coincide with the official American New Year’s Day of the Gregorian calendar, with the official holi…
Urban Multiculturalism and Globalization in New York City
This book focuses on American society as a transglobal nation and examines the temporal dimension of diasporic incorporation in New York City. It argues that immigrant neighbourhoods are faced not onl
The Global Ethnopolis
The Global Ethnopolis
The city of San Francisco, with its culturally distinct neighborhoods, presents us with a telling and multifaceted laboratory where we can study the logic of how the ethnic space of difference is inserted into the vast and expanding network of the globalizing world. 15 Until recently, social scientists have studied the American city as a flat, multicultural, and stratified entity, conceiving of it for the most part as a bound locale while informa…

The analysis of the relationship between Voodoo and politics reveals the ramifications of Voodoo in both local and national level politics throughout the history of Haiti. During the colonial era, the slave and maroon leaders used the church to give impetus to the liberation movement that was crucial in their attempt to overthrow the colonial regime; more recently, the Duvalier administrations co-opted church leaders in an effort to control their…
Religion and Politics
Although Voodoo may mean different things to different people, the mass media have apparently agreed to identify the republic of Haiti as the land of Voodoo par excellence in the western hemisphere. Several historically identifiable events and circumstances — not least the sensationalist international press reportage and various reports and books by foreign dignitaries in mission in Port-au-Prince — have bestowed that notorious reputation on the …
Marronage and Voodoo
During the period of the French colonisation of Haiti, the two groups of people who did not live on the plantations were the absentee landlords and the maroons. The landlords lived in France and had managers who took care of their holdings in the colony. Maroons were runaway slaves who either established autonomous settlements or were able to ‘lose’ themselves in various ways among the free people in the colony; some of the former returned from t…
