Bearing in mind the discomfort caused by statements that preached the crisis and the death of the lakou, I will analyze a nomination situation that I followed, revealing practices that remain, even when drastic changes affect people's lives. In a second step, I will focus on issues related to ritual kinship, the ways of organizing work and markets. To think of lakou is, in a way, to take into account the history and transformation processes that Haiti, in its diversity, has gone through and has gone through. |
