Laitinen, Maarit:

MARCHING TO ZION: CREOLISATION IN SPIRITUAL BAPTIST RITUALS AND COSMOLOGY.

Kirkegaards Antikvariat
kir59081
University of Helsinki, Department of Anthropology 2002. 8vo in original wraps as issued. VI, 355 pages. With illustrations. Very good, well preserved copy.

1st edition. - " a study of religious knowledge and ritual practices among the Spiritual Baptists in Tobago. It explores the Spiritual Baptist belief system and religious practitioners' politics of self-definition and demarcation, and contrasts these to the ways religion and culture have been conceptualised in studies of AfroCaribbean religious syncretism. Creolisation is shown to spring from the cultural resourcefulness of Spiritual Baptists rather than simply from a synthesis of two or more "original" cultures. The inventiveness and indigenousness of the religion do not render it rootless, fragmented or teleologically constructed, however. An ethnographic analysis of the Spiritual Baptist cosmology and rituals demonstrates that the religion has a cohesive, if not bounded, structure, and that the cosmology is thoroughly rooted in the local world and materialised in bodily experiences and performances. The dynamic of structure and creativity, inherent to the religion, engenders the basic questions of the study." (diss.).

Sage Publications Pvt. Ltd, 1995. Hardcover w jacket. 348 pp. "This book is concerned with community participation in the slums of Bombay and examines slum-dwellers' needs for housing and basic services. Vandana Desai focuses on two issues: What impact does community mobilization have on the process of slum upgrading? What is the extent of participation and how does it affect the services provided? The author seeks to understand how the housing and basic service needs of the urban poor are articulated and fulfilled, their involvement in community organizations and the role that the community and its leaders play in influencing state action".
