Jamaican Pentecostalism: Its growth and significance
The article discusses the significance of Jamaican Pentecostalism, one of a number of new religions that entered or developed in Jamaica between 1890 and 1930. It locates this missionary religion from the United States in the context of local and regional socio-economic changes, which brought both external and internal migrations to Jamaica. In turn, these changes transformed rural and urban life in ways that facilitated new directions in religio…

Afterword: Peterson’s Impartye—A short appreciation
By a curious stroke of fate, Nic Peterson's 'Totemism yesterday' (1972) had a particular resonance for me. My cohort at Chicago had been alerted to the glories of Lvi-Strauss by
Translating Christianity: Some keywords, events and sites in Western Arrernte conversion
This article considers a range of Western Arrernte terms employed by missionaries at Hermannsburg to translate the Bible and the Lutheran liturgy and hymns.

Both political economy and cultural analysis provide accounts of concomitant ‘problems about work’ and training initiatives in remote communities. Neither brings together, however, the issues of economic marginalisation and a history of cultural difference with its own transformati…
The Politics of Moral Order: A Brief Anatomy of Racing
Franz Fanon and Elva Cook point out that race is more than simply a cognitive system of classification. Race is also inscribed on bodies and realized in geographies of space (Williams 1989). David Harvey (2001) has developed the latter theme in his account of the ‘moral geographies’ that symbolize relations between nation-states. His discussion calls attention to the ways in which a state gives value to place across various types of terrain. Spat…
