New excerpt AND a new interview? Happy Wednesday everyone! Check out Vivalid Jean-Marie's Ethos of Blackness: Rastafari Cosmology, Culture, and Consciousness here-- https://t.co/Liu4pfNRIJ

The book "provides a detailed elaboration of the norms, culture, religious practices, and epistemological boundaries of Rastafari in order to argue that they are advancing Rastafari’s distinctive postcolonial ideals of Blackness for people of African descent."

From the excerpt: "Ultimately, Rebuilding Community reframes the ordinary ethical practices of displaced women as the concrete spatiotemporal events that form religious community. In the process, we also learn about placemaking after displacement and re-evaluate care work."
