At the time of his death, he was Professor of South American Anthropology at the cole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Paris.
M�traux's book is a landmark in the serious study of Afro-Atlantic religion. The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology. --Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit This is a work deserving of wide-readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal. --Library Journal This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudoo available in literature. . . . No other observer of vaudoo has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred M�traux. --Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
