The complex and sometimes contradictory articulation of ethnicity,
religion and gender informs this book on the cultural construction
of identity for Jamaican migrants in Britain. The author argues
that religion -- in this case Pentecostalism -- cannot be
understood simply as a means of spiritual compensation for the
economically disadvantaged. Rather, in the New Testament Church of
God, one of Britain's largest African Caribbean churches, the
cosmology of the church resolves the questions surrounding identity
as well as suffering. Religious participation is one way in which
African Caribbean people negotiate the terms of representation and
interaction in British society.
