The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions: International Studies in Religion and Society, cartea 16

Cristina Rocha, Manuel Arturo Vasquez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2013
The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions explores the global spread of religions originating in Brazil, a country that has emerged as a major pole of religious innovation and production. Through ethnographically-rich case studies throughout the world, ranging from the Americas (Canada, the U.S., Peru, and Argentina) and Europe (the U.K., Portugal, and the Netherlands) to Asia (Japan) and Oceania (Australia), the book examines the conditions, actors, and media that have made possible the worldwide construction, circulation, and consumption of Brazilian religious identities, practices, and lifestyles, including those connected with indigenized forms of Pentecostalism and Catholicism, African-based religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda, as well as diverse expressions of New Age Spiritism and Ayahuasca-centered neo-shamanism like Vale do Amanhecer and Santo Daime.

Recenzii

"This pioneering volume invites further research, for better understanding of the religions of the Global South via the new theories about globalisation: the glocalisation, trans-ethnicisation and transnationalisation of religion."

J.E. Castillo Guerra, University of Nijmegen in Journal of Empirical Theology 28 (2015), 140-141.
