Zombies are popular in Western film and TV but their roots in Caribbean and African spirituality are routinely ignored.

In addition, the zombie itself is often used as a metaphor for current racial and political situations.

In this interactive presentation we will cover:

• Demonisation of African spirituality, how, why and by whom
• The Haitian revolution’s secret weapon
• African civilisation and spiritual systems pre European invasion
• Religion as suppression/liberation
• Political messages in horror movies and TV shows 1932 to 2020
• Night of the Living Dead to the Walking Dead
• Why does the black guy always have to die?

This is an online talk via Zoom.
