About the Author
Dr. Jerry M. Gilles' formal training is in medicine. His great- grandfather was a traditional Haitian healer, who treated with herbs what Dr. Gilles now treats with pharmaceutical products often derived from those same herbs. Vodou is fascinating to Dr. Gilles because it is a repository of the knowledge, culture, and beliefs brought to Haiti from Africa. Dr. Gilles is an associate professor who has published in numerous peer review journals including the New England Journal of Medicine. He is a graduate of Columbia University and SUNY at Stonybrook. Yvrose S. Gilles is an educator and writer. She is a former curriculum/ resource specialist for the New York City Department of Education. Her area of interest is in how the people of Ginen ( West Africa) contributed to the making of the Americas. Ms. Gilles is a graduate of Barnard College of Coumbia University and Bank Street College.
