This text is an ethnographic study of the Caribbean and an exploration of ideas, beliefs and religious practices of Caribbean fold in diaspora and at home. Drawing upon ethonographic and historical research in a variety of contexts and settings, the contributors to this volume explore the relationship between religious and social life. Whether practiced at home or abroad, the contributors contend that the religions of Caribbean folk are dynamic and creative endeavours that have mediated the ongoing and open-ended relationship between local and global, historical and contemporary change.
