Beginning in the late 1970s and early 1980s,

significant numbers of Haitian immigrants began to arrive and settle in Miami.

Overcoming some of the most foreboding obstacles ever to face immigrants in

America, they, their children, and now their grandchildren, as well as more

recently arriving immigrants from Haiti, have diversified socioeconomically.

Together, they have made South Florida home to the largest population of

native-born Haitians and diasporic Haitians outside of the Caribbean and one of

the most significant Caribbean immigrant communities in the world. Religion has

played a central role in making all of this happen.



Crossing the Water and Keeping the Faith is a historical and

ethnographic study of Haitian religion in immigrant communities, based on

fieldwork in both Miami and Haiti, as well as extensive archival research.

Where many studies of Haitian religion limit themselves to one faith, Rey and

Stepick explore Catholicism, Protestantism, and Vodou in conversation with one

another, suggesting that despite the differences between these practices, the

three faiths ultimately create a sense of unity, fulfillment, and self-worth in

Haitian communities. This meticulously researched and vibrantly written book

contributes to the growing body of literature on religion among new immigrants,

as well as providing a rich exploration of Haitian faith communities.

Foreword by: Archbishop Thomas Wenski
