Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This wideranging book explores the origins, development, and character of AfroCaribbean cultures from the slave period to the present day. Richard D. E. Burton focuses on ways in which African traditionsincluding those in religion, music, food, dress, and family structurewere transformed by interaction with European and indigenous forces to create the particular cultures of Jamaica, Trinidad, and Haiti. He demonstrates how the resulting AfroCreole cultures have both challenged and reinforced the social, political, and economic status quo in these countries.Jamaican slaves opposed slavery in many ways and one of the most important, Burton suggests, was the development of AfroChristianity. He pays particular attention to the Africanderived Christmas celebration of Jonkonnu as an expression of opposition and then documents religion in the postslavery period, with an emphasis on Rastafarianism in Jamaica and Vodou in Haiti. The element of play has always figured importantly in AfroCaribbean life. Burton examines the evolution of carnival and calypso in Trinidad and describes the significance of cricket in defining Caribbean national identity.Based on ten years of research, AfroCreole draws on historical, anthropological, sociological, and literary sources. Burton characterizes the emergence of Caribbean identity with three different national flavors and demonstrates how culture both reflects and impacts people's changing sense of their own political power.
