Customer Reviews

A wonderful resource!

This book surveys the wonderful and complex Afro-Brazilian Religion of Batuque! Although the information contained in the book is quite dated, there is also a wealth of information regarding the Orixas, Encantados, Rites, Rituals, Theology, Adherent demographics, and History! Written and researched by two Anthropologists (Non-initiates) with an emphasis on Batuque as practiced in Belem (Northern Brazil). A truly wonderful resource for any ATR library!
