The Feast of Good Death: An Afro-Catholic Emancipation Celebration in Brazil.
Walker, Sheila S.
Sage, v3 n2 p27-31 Fall 1986
Joining African religion with Catholicism, women of northeastern Brazil re-enact century-old ceremonies. When forced to practice Catholicism, Afro-Brazilians assimilated their concepts of forces into the belief in Christian saints. Sisterhoods and brotherhoods in Brazil were underground manifestations of religions native to Africa. (VM)
