Over dit product

Product Information

In this wide-ranging book Paul C. Johnson explores the changing, hidden face of the Afro-Brazilian indigenous religion of Candomble. Despite its importance in Brazilian society, Candomble has received far less attention than its sister religions Vodou and Santeria. Johnson seeks to fill this void by offering a comprehensive look at the development, beliefs, and practices of Candomble and exploring its transformation from a secret society of slaves - hidden, persecuted, and marginalised - to a public religion that is very much a part of Brazilian culture. Johnson traces this historical shift and locates the turning point in the creation of a Brazilian public sphere and national identity in the first half of the twentieth century. His major focus is on the ritual practice of secrecy in Candomble. Offering many first hand accounts of the rites and rituals of contemporary Candomble, this book provides insight into this influential but little-studied group, while at the same time making a valuable contribution to our understanding of the relationship between religion and society.

Reviews
"A reader interested in learning about Candomble would be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive yet deftly written introduction to the religion and to the intellectual debates that surround it.... Secrets, Gossip and Gods is an ambitious, rich book that succeeds on many levels; it is agood read, to boot. There is little doubt that it will become a point of reference in the field."--History of Religions, "Johnson has achieved a masterful synthesis of fieldwork and theory,replacing the misleading notion of syncretism and its reified dualisms with thehistorically nuanced concept of 'secretism.' His book represents abreakthrough in studies of Brazilian Candomble because it relates local worldsand ritual networks to the rise of nationalism and the bourgeois public sphere."--Andrew Apter, Associate Professor of Anthropology, University ofChicago, "In this elegantly written and theoretically sophisticated book, Paul Johnson has made an important contribution to the scholarly discussion not only of Candomble, but of the relationship between religion and Brazilian society-and, indeed, between religion and society in general." --JohnBurdick, Author of Blessed Anastacia: Women, Race, and Popular Christianity in Brazil, "A reader interested in learning about Candomble would be hard-pressed tofind a more comprehensive yet deftly written introduction to the religion and tothe intellectual debates that surround it....
