RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN POST-EMANCIPATION JAMAICA.
Edition: First printing, a trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover.
Knoxville, TN: The University of Tennessee Press, (1992.). First edition - A work which grew out of the author's personal experiences as a Jesuit missionary in Jamaica, this scholarly and comprehensive book volume explores the interaction of two Christianities, one European and the other African-based survivals and Creole adaptations, as well as the Afro-Jamaican response to evangelization. Although primarily concerned with the period after emancipation - that is, after 1834 - it begins with the last great slave rebellion in Jamaican history - the biblically inspired one led by Sam Sharpe, Baptist leader - or 'daddy' - in the parish of St James. Maps, illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. 245 pp. ISBN: 0-87049-7488.
