Queering Creole Spiritual Traditions: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Participation in African Inspired Traditions in the Americas
This would have been much better if the authors had not fallen into the unfortunate trap of thinking "Gnostic Voudon" had anything to do with Haitian vodou. It meant I felt unable to trust anything they said about any of the other trads mentioned in the book when I knew that they had so badly misunderstood and misrepresented my own.
Vodou is a tradition that doesn't care about your personal sexual orientation and welcomes initiates of all orientations but there are no sex rites, ever. This dangerous confusion of white western appropriations with Vodou is an insult to those who took part in this book in good faith. Real and personal research with an actual Vodou priest/ess is essential!
