Description: "In this brilliant, evocative, and invigorating book, Francio Guadeloupe brings us to the island not as tourists but as guests, welcoming us into the homes and home-truths of a Caribbean world in the making. In the process, he helps us understand the intimate yet mediated rhythms of personal subjectivity and social collectivity that are at work and at play in making meaningful worlds. As a result, this book makes a major contribution to the study of religion and culture in the Caribbean and in the world."--David Chidester, author of "Authentic Fakes: Religion and American Popular Culture"

Review Quotes: "An original contribution to the study of Caribbean religions."-- "New West Indian Guide / NWIG" (6/1/2011 12:00:00 AM)
