We are facing a radical agenda set by the progressive wing of the educational establishment, says Dr Stephen Curran. We should build on the past 14 years' foundation, not tear it down.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Reggae music doesn't come from Martinique, but from Jamaica. The majority of people in Martinique doesn't practice voodoo. These are stereotypes which don't correspond to the reality. Thanks for correcting.
The article states that reggae and voodoo are from the Caribbean, not Martinique specifically.
Good morning/evening,
I am particularly astounded by this article which quotes aberrant facts without checking the originality of it... Voodoo (from the Beninian etymology "Vodun") is a SYNCRETIC RELIGION originating from the ancient Dahomey empire and part of the Yoruba empire (today it would vaguely correspond to Benin, Togo, Nigeria and several parts of Ghana...). It was brought about the Caribean (Puerto Rico, Cuba, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Saint Domingue, Jamaica etc.) and several other countries (United States (mainly New Orleans and Florida), Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, Surinam, Guyana etc.) as African slaves were brought to America (referring to the continent and not to the United States which appropriate the term to fulfill their seizure...) in the 16th century. The crossing with imported occidental (and sometimes native american beliefs) religious streams imposed to slaves gave birth to different terms in order to refer to the practices/rituals to which it could be assimilated: this includes the Louisiana Voodoo, the brazilian Candomblé and/or Umbanda, the Santería and/or Arará in Cuba etc.
Far from the Hollywood yokes and the xenophobe images of some old-fashioned cartoons depicting coloured primitives in fright, Voodoo is a growing religion practised by millions of individuals. Nowadays it celebrates cultural interbreeding and is subject to major studies.

They share undoubted roots which of course resulted from the african diasporia reducing from the slave trade. But they are now as distinct as Shia and Druze Islam or Mormonism and Roman Catholicism. If you don't believe me read wikipedia & take your arguments there. & stop returning here and adding pretty much the same comment to my article every few months.
Twas from that fair isle he was forced to flee as a teenager after singing the praises of General De Gaulle and the Free French Movement , the island being the preserve of the Vichy Free staters , along with most of france and the bits accross the world they call integrally french . Young Fanon who fully regarded himself as a French citizen signed up in the Free french army , helped liberate the mother country , got wounded and upon the liberation of paris decided he'd go for a stroll in the capital bedecked in his uniform , medals and scars . And found to his horror and surprise he was not a hero of the liberation but instead no more than a "n****r "who couldnt get served a glass of water in a Paris restaurant . This outright racism and hypocrisy formed a major basis of his later anti colonial theories and philosophy,a philosophy itself which played a major role in the downfall of old style colonialism accross the third world . Particularly the bits the french had . Hailed as a genius and prophet by Sarte and others yet his teachings largely ignored and indeed suppressed on the island he was forced to flee from by French collaborators .
Ironic that the island from which this philosopher hailed is among the last surviving colonial outposts in the world . But better late than never .
Fanon
