.The complex and sometimes contradictory articulation of ethnicity, religion and gender informs this book on the cultural construction of identity for Jamaican migrants in Britain. The author argues that religion – in this case Pentecostalism – cannot be understood simply as a means of spiritual compensation for the economically disadvantaged. Rather, in the New Testament Church of God, one of Britain’s largest African Caribbean churches, the cosmology of the church resolves the questions surrounding identity as well as suffering. Religious participation is one way in which African Caribbean people negotiate the terms of representation and interaction in British society.Believing Identity: Pentecostalism and the Mediation of Jamaican Ethnicity and Gender in England 1st Edition is written by Nicole Toulis and published by Routledge.
