"Farewell, Fred Voodoo" by Amy Wilentz
“Farewell, Fred Voodoo” by Amy Wilentz (The Minnesota Star Tribune)

"Farewell, Fred Voodoo," by Amy Wilentz. We mostly hear about Haiti when Mother Nature wreaks havoc. But it is a place with a long-honored and troubled history. Wilentz's first Haiti book, "Rainy Season," is also a great read.
