Between two coasts : nations, ethnicities, ports, and the slave trade -- The formation of a Jeje ethnic identity in Bahia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries -- From Calundu to Candomblé : the formative process of Afro-Brazilian religion -- The Jeje contribution to the institutionalization of Candomblé in the nineteenth century -- Bogum and Roça de Cima : the parallel history of two Jeje terreiros in the second half of the nineteenth century -- Leadership and internal dynamic of the Bogum and Seja Hundé terreiros in the twentieth century -- The Jeje Pantheon and its transformations -- The ritual : characteristics of the Jeje-Mahi liturgy in Bahia.
Interweaving three centuries of transatlantic religious and social history with historical and twenty-first century ethnography, the author traces the formation of Candomblé, one of the most influential African-derived religious forms in the African diaspora, with practitioners today centered in Brazil but also living in Europe and elsewhere in the Americas. Originally published in Brazil and not available in English, this translated edition reveals cultural changes that have occurred in religious practices within Africa, as well as those caused by the displacement of enslaved Africans in the Americas.
