In this brilliantly evocative ethnography, Francio Guadeloupe
probes the ethos and attitude created by radio disc jockeys on the
binational Caribbean island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten. Examining
the intersection of Christianity, calypso, and capitalism,
Guadeloupe shows how a multiethnic and multireligious island
nation, where livelihoods depend on tourism, has managed to
encourage all social classes to transcend their ethnic and
religious differences. In his pathbreaking analysis, Guadeloupe
credits the island DJs, whose formulations of Christian faith,
musical creativity, and capitalist survival express ordinary
people's hopes and fears and promote tolerance.
