My instructor has asked me to put together a comprehensive annotated bibliography on the similarities and differences between these two religions. I’ve already gathered my three sources but my thesis statement is lacking according to my instructor. I’m including both my introductory paragraph and my thesis below.
Introduction –
Voodoo has been sensationalized by western media and horror movies such as White Zombie
(1932) The typical depictions of Voodoo in popular culture are something that is immoral and
goes against God’s divine will by worshipping fake idols and taking part in black magic like the
fallen angel Lucifer. But Voodoo’s history is deeply tied with slaves that were indoctrinated into
the Roman Catholic religion when they were brought across the seas mostly of African descent.
Thesis –
How has the integration of religious beliefs and practices of slaves and other immigrants shaped modern voodoo and Roman Catholicism?
