 M. Louis, Jr. (Associate Professor of Anthropology and African American &
  Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky) will lecture on the devel
 opment of religious habitus through embodied worship at a Haitian Protesta
 nt church. There, stateless second-generation Haitians worship within a B
 lack, Christian and anti-Haitian Bahamas. Adherent use of Haitian Protest
 ant hymnody, liturgical dance and prayer reflects social processes of ind
 ividual and collective self-remaking through embodied and linguistic pract
 ices. This creates a unique, hybrid Christian habitus which helps them ne
 gotiate cultural belonging in the Bahamas.About Professor Louis:Bertin M.
