New Orleans History 


Children’s and Young Adult Books with African Diasporic Folklore

Vodou & African Traditional Religions (ATRs)

*NOTE: This book is by a Caucasian priestess that has been reviewed by Black Haitian Mambos to ensure the information is accurate, including Mambo Marie Carmel. The author thanks Sally Ann Glassman in the back of the book; I want to be clear that as a Vodou Priestess and a woman of Color, I do not endorse Glassman and her practice.

*Note: The book is written by a Black woman, however the audiobook is read by a White woman doing a bad southern accent.
