Explores the changing, hidden face of the Afro-Brazilian indigenous religion of Candomble. This book offers a look at the development, beliefs, and practices of Candomble, and explores its transformation from a secret society of slaves - hidden, persecuted, and marginalized - to a public religion that is very much part of Brazilian culture.
