This book offers an overview of the material expressions of
Caribbean religious expressions, including those that have been
imported through the vehicle of colonialism, and which subsequently
changed and adapted within the Caribbean islands and those
religious expressions which developed through the contact of
African, indigenous and imported world views. This book takes a
multi-disciplinary perspective, drawing from subjects as diverse as
archaeology, religious studies, history, human geography and
anthropology. It introduces current topical debates around the role
of colonialism and religion in the Caribbean, and also considers
theoretical approaches to the study of Caribbean religions set
within a wider global context. This approach introduces the reader
to a number of important and topical concepts around the wider
study of Caribbean religions, and illuminates the complex cultural
history and interplay of these religions in the Caribbean islands.
Richly illustrated and drawing upon a range of different cultural
approaches, it offers new and challenging perspectives on the
development and cultural history of Caribbean spiritual and
religious expression through the lens of the material world. The
book is for anyone interested in the Caribbean as a region and the
role of religious behaviour in human society. Students of
religions, archaeology and anthropology will find a number of
thought-provoking and important case studies which relate complex
theory to real world case studies.
