Description

Informationen zum Autor Mikelle Smith Omari-Tunkara is a professor in the art department at the University of Arizona. Klappentext She demonstrates how this manipulation provides Brazilian descendents of slaves with a sense of agency--with a link to their African heritage and a locus for resistance to the dominant Euro-Brazilian culture. Zusammenfassung At a time when the art of the African diaspora has aroused much interest for its multicultural dimensions! this text offers insights as a participant/observer in the African-based religions of Brazil. It focuses on the symbolism and function of ritual objects used in the Brazilian ""Candomble"".
