New. Fine in publisher's cloth in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Zane offers an outstanding account of Baptist ritual as well as valuable information concerning the religion's origins and development....this book contains some of the best descriptions of Spiritual Baptist ritual ever published and constitutes an important contribution to the study of African American religion."--Choice ... Although much has been written on the Afro-Catholic syncretic religions of Vodou, Candomble, and Santeria, the Spiritual Baptists--an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Protestant Christianity--have received little attention. This work offers the first detailed examination of the Spiritual Baptists or "Converted". Based on 18 months of fieldwork on the Island of St. Vincent (where the religion arose) and among Vincentian immigrants in Brooklyn, Zane's analysis makes a contribution to the literature on African-American and African Diaspora religion and the anthropology of religion more generally.
