Some Concluding Thoughts from Outgoing Association of Black Anthropologists (ABA) President
From Savage to Negro
Anti-Haitianism and Statelessness in the Caribbean
Statelessness affects an estimated 15 million people worldwide (Kosinski 2009, 377). Without citizenship in the countries of their birth, stateless people lack access to basic political and social rights, such as the right to vote, marry, travel, and own property; in some cases, stateless people are also denied access to employment, educational services, and health care (UNCHR 2021). In this article, we look at the growing global problem of state…
Embodied Worship in a Haitian Protestant Church in the Bahamas
Haiti's Pact with the Devil
This essay uses ethnographic research conducted among Haitian Protestants in the Bahamas in 2005 and 2012 plus internet resources to document the belief among Haitian Protestants (Haitians who practice Protestant forms of Christianity) that Haiti supposedly made a pact with the Devil (Satan) as the result of Bwa Kayiman, a Vodou ceremony that launched the Haitian Revolution (1791-1803). Vodou is the syncretized religion indigenous to Haiti. I arg…
Oliver Osborne
Osborne developed an interest in the burgeoning anthropological subdiscipline of medical anthropology and conducted his dissertation research in Nigeria, focusing on traditional African health care systems and their relationship to Western biomedical systems. Osborne studied in the Nigerian village of Ibara Orile and explored how Yoruba villages serve as therapeutic communities for the mentally ill. His research interests brought him back to Nige…
Black Rural Lives Matters
The non-indictment of Michael Brown's killer in fall 2014, the castigation of Blacks during the Baltimore uprising following Freddie Gray's death in police custody, and the death of Sandra Bland in a Texas jail further solidified the notion of the expendability of Black life in the United States. But while larger urban areas like Cleveland, Ferguson, and Staten Island mobilized around anti-Black police brutality, African Americans in smaller rura…
Touloutoutou and Tet Mare Churches
Within Haiti's growing transnational Protestant community, there are different types of churches and adherents that practice traditional forms of Protestant Christianity (such as the Adventist, Methodist and Baptist faiths) and Pentecostal/Charismatic forms of Protestant Christianity. Using Michèle Lamont's work on symbolic boundaries, I explore how Haitian Protestants living in New Providence, Bahamas, differentiate these two major Haitian Prote…
