Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé religion, this book reveals the dynamic interplay between African and African-American cultures. It challenges the notion that transnationalism is a modern phenomenon and disputes the idea that African culture is only present among marginalized black communities in the Americas. Instead, it argues that African cultural practices thrive among urban and affluent populations, who actively engage with diverse cultures through travel and commerce, making a conscious choice to embrace their heritage in a multicultural context.
