Haiti voodoo research

After changing my topic, I needed to start new research on voodoo. I found excellent sources at the UWM library, but unfortunately, I could not check them out because of "policy issues." While ProQuest has had few articles (surprisingly) one of them I believe will be a very good source. This article talks about a former biochemist from Cornell, Max Beauvoir who returned to his native Haiti where his grandfather told him he would be the next voodoo priest. These priests are known as the houngan and there is one houngan for every 1,000 habitants of Haiti. Compare that to the Roman Catholic priest count (1 to 60,000) or 600 doctors for the 6 million people who live in Haiti. The most interesting part of the article is that Beauvoir talks about trying to get traditional medicine to be taught at local universities. He believe the teaching of traditional medicine would help local doctors to treat both "sides" of the illness, the medical and spiritual. Also, he is advocating for leaf-doctors (doctors who practice traditional medicine to "be taught how to improve their skills. They do the work here and they will for a long time to come."
