Publisher's Synopsis

Interweaving three centuries of transatlantic religious and social history with historical and present-day ethnography, Luis Nicolau Parés traces the formation of Candomblé, one of the most influential African-derived religious forms in the African diaspora, with practitioners today centred in Brazil but also living in Europe and elsewhere in the Americas.
