Nan editoryal sa a, Jean Dominique repwoche misyonè ameriken ki vin an Ayiti pou preche levanjil epi pou yo “dechouke Boukman” — pale Boukman mal, pou di ke seremoni Bwa Kayiman an se te yon akò avèk Satan. Daprè Dominique, lè misyonè sa yo eseye detwi repitsayon Boukman, se pa sèlman relijyon Vodou yap kritike — se kòmsi se desann yap desann lejitimite Revolisyon Ayisyen an menm. Dominique lonje dwèt sou lefèt ke entolerans ak pèsekisyon sa a egziste an Ayiti depi lontan, sitou nan lane 1940 yo, lè Legliz Katolik te lanse yon gwo “kanpay anti-sipèstisyon.” Yo te kraze perestil, e yo te fòse Vodouyizan renonse epi rejte relijyon an.
In this 1998 editorial, Jean Dominique takes to task the American missionaries who have come to Haiti to proselytize and “dechouke Boukman” — to destroy the reputation of Boukman, an enslaved man who was one of the early leaders of the Haitian Revolution. Boukman is said to have led a ceremony at Bois Caïman, which missionaries describe as a “pact with the devil.” In tearing down Boukman, Dominique argues, evangelicals not only disparage the Vodou religion, but also undermine the very legitimacy of the Haitian Revolution. As Dominique points out, intolerance and persecution of Vodou believers had been occurring throughout the 20th century, most notably during the 1940s, when the Catholic Church undertook a massive “antisuperstition campaign” in which Vodou temples were destroyed and adherents were forced to renounce their religion.
Dans cet éditorial, Jean Dominique critique les missionnaires américains qui viennent en Haïti pour prêcher l’évangile et « dechouke Boukman », c’est-à-dire détruire la réputation de Boukman et déclarer que la cérémonie du Bois Caïman était un pacte avec Satan. D’après Dominique, quand ces missionnaires essaient de détruire la réputation de Boukman, ce n’est pas seulement la religion vodou qu’ils attaquent mais la légitimité même de la Révolution Haïtienne. Dominique signale que l’intolérance et la persécution existent depuis longtemps en Haïti, et plus particulièrement pendant les années 1940 quand l’Église catholique a lancé une grande « campagne anti-superstitieuse » pendant laquelle les temples vodous ont été détruit et les pratiquants forcés à rejeter leur religion.
