Transformative spiritualities: For the pilgrimage of justice and peace
The Churches of the World Council of Churches have been on a "Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace"- together with people of goodwill—since they met for their assembly in Busan in 2013. Building peace with justice has been at the heart of the ecumenical movement since its beginnings. It reflects the call of the churches in a wounded world caused by systemic injustice - racism, sexism, xenophobia, economic exploitation, and violence among humans and ag…
Caribbean Healing Traditions: Implications for Health and Mental Health
As Caribbean communities become more international, clinicians and scholars must develop new paradigms for understanding treatment preferences and perceptions of illness. Despite evidence supporting the need for culturally appropriate care and the integration of traditional healing practices into conventional health and mental health care systems, it is unclear how such integration would function since little is known about the therapeutic interv…
Ships that will never sail: The paradox of Rastafari Pan-Africanism
This article undertakes an analysis of the Pan-African ideas and practices of the Rastafari in Jamaica from two perspectives. The first is that of Marcus Garvey, whom the Rastafari regard as the prophet who inspired their origin with his teachings, his alleged foretelling of the coronation of the Emperor of Ethiopia and his Back-to-Africa movement. The second is that of three other native religions, Revival, Kumina and Convince, founded by enslav…

The people in the research communities who are the subjects of the study are allowed to speak for themselves,…

Jamaica Genesis: Religion and the Politics of Moral Orders
This study examines how Pentecostalism has managed to achieve such ascendancy in a former British colony among people of predominantly African descent. This book argues that it has flourished because it successfully mediates between two historically central, yet often oppositional themes in Jamaican religious life: the characteristic African striving for personal freedom and happiness, and the Protestant struggle for atonement and salvation throu…

Believing Identity: Pentecostalism and the Mediation of Jamaican Ethnicity and Gender in England
Rastafari: Roots and Ideology
The continuity-creativity debate: The case of Revival
Argues that the attempts to polarize the debate around Caribbean culture into an African continuity versus a creole creativity position is misplaced. The authors use Revivalism as an example of both continuity in African-derived Myalim and an on-going process of re-creation
Rastafari: Roots and Ideology
Traces the cultural development of the Rastafari movement from the slave trade in the sixteenth century, when it developed as a resistance reaction.
