The Spirit of ‘Buss Head’
This article explores the Machel Montano and Bunji Garlin song ‘Buss Head’ as an example of the invocation of culture, history and spirit in soca music towards social healing and change. I argue that this song has gone beyond the levels of entertainment commonly associated with soca music by invoking the spirit of Joe Talmana, a nineteenth-century Trinidadian stick fighter, as an ancestor and warrior to inspire in a new generation a connection to…
Sacred cites
In this article I offer a Black feminist sacred citational praxis supported by considerations of how subjectivity, relationality, and epistemology speak to questions, such as: which voices contribute to the stories we tell, the arguments that we make, and what is our responsibility to marking and naming those voices?

Fadeke Castor employs the titular concept to illuminate how Ifá/Orisha practices informed by Yoruba cosmology shape local, national, and transnational belonging in African diasporic communities in Trinidad and beyond. Drawing on almost two decades of fieldwork in Trinidad, Castor outlines how the political activism and social upheaval of the 1970s set the stage for African diasporic religions to enter mainstream Trinid…
Shifting Multicultural Citizenship
The political sponsorship of the Orisha religion by Trinidad's first Indian Prime Minister, Basdeo Panday (1995-2001), reveals the dynamics and tensions between black cultural citizenship and multicultural citizenship. How do multiple cultural citizenships intersect? Specifically, in Trinidad what is the role of black cultural citizenship within a national multicultural frame where African and Indian descendants represent two roughly equal majori…
