Shows that African people have been agents of their own religious, ritual, and theological formation. This book examines the African-derived and African-centered traditions in historical Jamaica: Myal, Obeah, Native Baptist, Revival/Zion, Kumina, and Rastafari, and draws on them to forge a womanist liberation theology for the Caribbean. What Stewart is speaking for in a remarkable trans-discipline manner is a revision which allows religions to be able to talk with--rather than howl at--one another. Stewarts scholarship makes a major pathfinding and breakthrough contribution to theological studies, Caribbean theology in particular, and Caribbean studies.
