This book is essential reading. * Patrick Bellegarde-Smith, Editor of Fragments of Bone: Neo-African Religions in a New World * Bold and evidence-driven, Voodoo: The History of a Racial Slur exposes the disturbing truth that 'religious racism' levied upon custodians of African heritage religions is the only type of racism that most people still find permissible and even necessary in the twenty-first century.
