A comprehensive look at the development, beliefs, and practices of Candomblé, exploring its transformation from a secret society of slaves - hidden, persecuted, and marginalized - to a public religion that is very much part of Brazilian culture.

Enter the fascinating world of the Condomble regions of Brazil, where interaction between spirits and human is considered an everyday occurrence. Jim Wafer uncovers the social life, rituals, folklore, and engaging personalities of the villagers of Jacari, among whom trances, sorcery, and spirit possession demonstrate the coexistence of different kinds of reality.This ethnography is intriguing not only because of the originality of its approach to the more enigmatic aspects of another culture but also because it uses insights gained from participation in that culture to reflect on the paradoxes inherent in the writer's own culture, and in the human condition in general.

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.
