BRILLIANT FACT-CHECK from @vodou_film Do you know what the actual term means outside of the Hollywood definition and portrayals?! Reposted from @vodou_film What is a Zombie? We repeatedly witness Hollywood churning out film after film on the subject, heightening our feelings of 'other' even as many are not consciously aware of its subliminal programming. Queen Mother Dowoti Desir provides an excellent analysis of what the archetype of Zombie actually entails in the historical, cultural and political context of Haiti Vodou. Her exposition is brilliant and highlights how this term was borne from the relationship of the USA with Haiti over decades and how it has been weaponised from start as a tool of Afriphobia in stigmatising and demonising African-derived Traditions. It is such in-depth analyses of ideas and contemporary concepts that makes this film a truly unique learning resource in terms of what we can learn positively from the Haitian Revolution and Vodou today.
