Riding with Death: Vodou Art and Urban Ecology in the Streets of Port-Au-Prince (Caribbean Studies)

Description

Explores the urban environmental aesthetics of the Grand Rue sculptors and the beautifully constructed sculptures they have designed from salvaged automobile parts, rubber tires, carved wood, and other recycled materials. Through first-person accounts and fieldwork, Braziel constructs an urban ecological framework for understanding these sculptures amid environmental degradation and poverty.
