A group, known as ‘Shouters’ in Trinidad and Granada, and as ‘Shakers’ in St Vincent, representing an Afro-Protestant syncretism within autonomous congregations mainly of African descent. This started on St Vincent in the late 19th cent. Although outlawed 1912–65, it survived underground and is now publicly accepted.
