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.The Anthropology of ChristianityEthnologySaint Martin (West Indies)EthnicitySaint Martin (West Indies)Anthropology of religionSaint Martin (West Indies)Religion and cultureSaint Martin (West Indies)Disc jockeysSocial aspectsSaint Martin (West Indies)MusicSocial aspectsSaint Martin (West Indies)Saint Martin (West Indies)Ethnic relationsSaint Martin (West Indies)Race relationsSaint Martin (West Indies)Social conditionsanthropology.attitude.binational caribbean island.calypso.capitalism.capitalist survival.caribbean sea.caribbean.christian faith.christianity.cultural studies.dj cimarron.dj shadow.ethnography.ethos.hip hop music.multiethnic island nation.multireligious island nation.music.musical creativity.politics.radio disc jockey.rastafari individuality.rastafarian.religious anthropology.saint martin.sint maarten.social classes.spiritual.tolerance.tourism.EthnologyEthnicityAnthropology of religionReligion and cultureDisc jockeysSocial aspectsMusicSocial aspects305.80097297/6Guadeloupe Francio1971-1562144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825612403321Chanting down the new Jerusalem4071083UNINA
