Reflects the best of ethnographic writing. McCoy-Torres writes beautifully and evocatively about the cultural, political, and social practices that structure Caribbean diasporic life, love, labor, community and joy. Her careful attention to the collective labor and love that produce reggae culture reveals novel ways of understanding politics, race, gender and sexuailty that are simultaneously grounded in people's deep sense of place and pride as Afro-Caribbeans in a diasporic context. In this, McCoy-Torres is part of a distinguished tradition of feminist ethnographers whose research and writing is rigorous, rich, and a delight to read. -- Gina Pérez, author of Sanctuary People: Faith-Based Organizing in Latina/o Communities
