Anti-Haitianism, Statelessness, and Religious Practice in The Bahamas

Anti-Haitianism, Statelessness, and Religious Practice in The Bahamas

Join the African and African American Studies and Anthropology departments for a talk led by Dr. Bertin M. Louis, Professor of Anthropology and African and African American Studies at the University of Kentucky. A light reception will follow the event.

This talk explores how Haitian Protestant hymnody, liturgical dance, and prayer constitute embodied practices through which stateless Bahamian-born people of Haitian descent negotiate anti-Haitianism, remake selfhood, and cultivate a hybrid Christian habitus in The Bahamas.
