Focusing on the Reconcavo region of northeastern Brazil - known for its rich Afro-Brazilian traditions and as a center of racial consciousness in the country - Stephen Selka provides a nuanced and sophisticated ethnography that examines what it means to be black in Brazil. Selka examines how Evangelical Protestantism, Candomble (traditional Afro-Brazilian religion), and Catholicism - especially progressive Catholicism - are deployed in discursive struggles concerning racism and identity. In the process, he provides a model of wedding abstract theory with concrete details of everyday life. Revealing the complexity and sometimes contradictory aspects of Afro-Brazilian religious practices and racial identity, Selka brings a balanced perspective to polarized discussions of Brazilian racial politics.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aBrazilxReligion. 0aSalvador (Brazil)xReligion. 0aReligion and politicszBrazilzSalvador. 0aEthnicityzBrazilzSalvador. 0aEthnicityxReligious aspects. 7aReligion.2idszbz 7aPolitik.2idszbz 7aEthnizität.2idszbz 7aBahia (Staat)2idszbz 7aSchwarze.2idszbz07aEthnische Identität.2swd07aReligion.2swd 7aBahia.2swd 7aSchwarze.2swd 7aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural2bisacsh 7aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations2bisacsh 7aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Minority Studies2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aSelka, Stephen.tReligion and the politics of ethnic identity in Bahia, Brazil.dGainesville : University Press of Florida, c2007z9780813031712w(DLC)  2007027405w(OCoLC)154704859 0aNew World diasporas series.403NetLibraryuhttp://www.netLibrary.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=380208  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c50499d50499
