Descripción
Sumario:In the current times of increasing public visibility for candomblés, their records in the tombo books and the rhetoric for the preservation of Afro-Brazilian cultural heritage, it is not superfluous to take a close look at a not so remote past in which such African-based practices were sometimes silenced, sometimes persecuted and depreciated because they are identified with delay and deviation from European civilizing models. If this retrospective look proves salutary in realizing how much progress has been made, it also alerts us to how much more needs to be done, since the discourses of religious intolerance of yesterday are spreading today, although in new pulpits, with the same harmful effects. In this sense, Edmar Ferreira Santos' book achieves a goal that any research in social history can aim for: that of allowing us to understand in detail the complexity of the past, through it, to illuminate the paradoxes of the present (excerpt taken from the preface of the book).
