Interessada na mudança no perfil dos seguidores do candomblé, a autora aborda, mais particularmente, da participação de indivíduos de camadas médias nos terreiros de Salvador, a partir de uma análise entre religião e classe social. Trata-se de um estudo detalhado dos processos de identificação e aprendizado pelos quais pessoas de classe média soteropolitana passam a incorporar o candomblé em suas vidas e a terem nos terreiros experiências para as quais sua trajetória de classe pouco lhes preparou. Ao indagar sobre os motivos que levaram a adesão dessas pessoas, o livro costura tais questionamentos e gera uma contribuição importante para a renovação das pesquisas na área do candomblé.

Diante da constatação de que, de modo geral, não ocorreram mudanças no currículo das escolas após a implantação da Lei 10.639/2003, esta temática foi objeto de pesquisa pelo autor, objetivando analisar a diversidade da sociedade, procurando, por meio de um modelo de educação fundamentado nos princípios do multiculturalismo crítico, contribuir para a construção de uma sociedade cada vez mais justa e igualitária, onde os espaços de educação formal não mais tratem as crianças de religiões de matriz africana de forma preconceituosa e racista.

Holy Harlots examines the intersections of social marginality, morality, and magic in contemporary Brazil by analyzing the beliefs and religious practices related to the Afro-Brazilian spirit entity Pomba Gira. Said to be the disembodied spirit of an unruly harlot, Pomba Gira is a controversial figure in Brazil. Devotees maintain that Pomba Gira possesses an intimate knowledge of human affairs and the mystical power to intervene in the human world. Others view this entity more ambivalently. Kelly E. Hayes provides an intimate and engaging account of the intricate relationship between Pomba Gira and one of her devotees, Nazaré da Silva. Combining Nazaré's spiritual biography with analysis of the gender politics and violence that shapes life on the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Hayes highlights Pomba Gira's role in the rivalries, relationships, and struggles of everyday life in urban Brazil.A DVD of the film Slaves of the Saints is included.
