N2  - "Maps manifestations of the sacred and religious syncretism in Afro-Brazilian cultural forms"--; "By embracing African deities as a source of creative inspiration and resistance, Afro-Brazilians have appropriated syncretism as a means of not only popularizing African culture but also decolonizing themselves from the past shame of slavery. This book maps the role of African heritage in--and relocation of the sacred to--three sites of Brazilian cultural production: ritual altars, literature, and carnival culture."--
