"At first glance, it may be difficult to see a relationship between Haitian Vodou and Mormonism. How could Mormonism, which established and upheld racist policies and doctrines, be associated with a religion born out of Black power? Connections between Haitian Vodou and Mormonism, however, are worth investigating because thousands of people living in Haiti have been converting to Mormonism since the official opening of an LDS Haitian mission in 1983. This article shows that Haitians are not attracted to Mormonism simply because converting often means access to social mobility but also because tremendous and paradoxical similarities exist between the two religions despite their differences."
