{"product_id":"9781493158072","title":"BODIES, MEMORIES AND SPIRITS: A DISCOURSE ON SELECTED CULTURAL FORMS AND PRACTICES OF ST.LUCIA","description":"The island of Saint Lucia possesses a vibrant Creole culture that has given shape to a lively and creative people.  Cyclical traditions akin to Community Theatre emerged out of discourses, counter-discourses and work practices during centuries of European slavery and\/or colonization of the Amerindian, the African and the East Indian.   This text provides descriptions of a selection of those traditions.  The research was conducted when the author was employed with the Folk Research Centre and while he was engaged in graduate research as a student of Cultural Studies at UWI, Cave Hill.  Although the author attempts to place the traditions under study in their historical context, his focus however is on a discussion of the impact of those traditions on the people and their society.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130852688112,"sku":"9781493158072","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781493158072_p0.jpg?v=1763663550","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493158072","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
