About Keith McNeal
Dr. McNeal is an anthropologist with specialization in Caribbean ethnology and Atlantic cultural history and a long-term focus on Trinidad and Tobago. His first book is a comparative historical ethnography of African and Hindu traditions of trance performance and spirit mediumship in the southern Caribbean, as well as the postcolonial politics of race, religion, diaspora, nationalism and multiculturalism. In this and subsequent work, he examines the interplay of religion, race, class, and nationalism in Caribbean societies, and investigates how spirit mediumship and trance performance are both products and agents of modernity in Caribbean contexts.
