{"product_id":"chanting-down-the-new-jerusalem-francio-guadeloupe-9780520254893","title":"Chanting Down the New Jerusalem: Calypso, Christianity, and Capitalism in the Caribbean Volume 4","description":"In this brilliantly evocative ethnography, Francio Guadeloupe probes the ethos and attitude created by radio disc jockeys on the binational Caribbean island of Saint Martin\/Sint Maarten. Examining the intersection of Christianity, calypso, and capitalism, Guadeloupe shows how a multiethnic and multireligious island nation, where livelihoods depend on tourism, has managed to encourage all social classes to transcend their ethnic and religious differences. In his pathbreaking analysis, Guadeloupe credits the island DJs, whose formulations of Christian faith, musical creativity, and capitalist survival express ordinary people's hopes and fears and promote tolerance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francio Guadeloupe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520254899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520254893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 5.94w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2009 pg. 14","brand":"Francio Guadeloupe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130823504127,"sku":"9780520254893","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1dbcecc0-b0fc-4aef-9a1f-cf82e978df48.jpg?v=1687471479","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chanting-down-the-new-jerusalem-francio-guadeloupe-9780520254893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
