This is referred to as “tiers-lieu éducatif” or "third-place education". Churches in Haitian communities in Martinique emerge, in our opinion, from this experience.

This article highlights the function of Education in these areas highly populated by Haitians. Following the example of the native Evangelical Communities, we have formulated the explanatory hypothesis that we have verified: A function that does not fulfil, on the other hand, the few voodoo temples on the island, led by the sons of Toussaint Louverture. |
