(Fils-Aimé, Jean) Jean Fils-Aimé holds a Master’s Degree from McGill University in Medieval History and a Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Montreal. His specialty is the interaction of faith and culture. His dissertation was on the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation during the 21st century. Fils-Aimé advocates for the importance of Voodoo in Haitian culture. He has made Voodoo a weapon of opposition, a therapy for the people, and maintains that Voodoo is a religion advocating love and charity. His book, Vodou, je me souviens, is a genuine plea for Haitian culture and identity, as well as the gateway to new theological and ethnological debates.
