Book Synopsis

An ethnographic study of Trinidadian gospel music that engages the multiple musical styles circulating in the nation's Full Gospel community and illustrates the carefully negotiated and contested spaces that they occupy in relationship to questions of identity. It explores gospelypso, jamoo ('Jehovah's music'), and gospel dancehall.
