“AFRICALAND”: “AFRICA” IN TORONTO SPIRITUAL BAPTIST EXPERIENCE
Carol B. Duncan
Chapter 4 considers the significance of the multiple meanings of Africa as an imagined place in Toronto Spiritual Baptists’ experiences of migration and identity construction. Toronto Spiritual Baptists’ lives are lived in a tension between maintaining “back home” traditions from the Caribbean and adapting or creating new rituals and beliefs in response to the contemporary, everyday pressures that they confront as immigrant, black people in Toronto.
