Paperback. Condizione: New. One hundred years ago in Brazil the rituals of Candomblé were feared as sorcery and persecuted as crime. Its cult objects were fearsome fetishes. Nowadays, they are Afro-Brazilian cultural works of art, objects of museum display and public monuments. Focusing on the particular histories of objects, images, spaces and persons who embodied it, this book portrays the historical journey from weapons of sorcery looted by the police, to hidden living stones, to public works of art attacked by religious fanatics that see them as images of the Devil, former sorcerers who have become artists, writers, and philosophers. Addressing this history as a journey of objectification and appropriation, the author offers a fresh, unconventional, and illuminating look at questions of syncretism, hybridity and cultural resistance in Brazil and in the Black Atlantic in general.…

Trade Paperback. Condizione: New. Most scholarship on sorcery and witchcraft has narrowly focused on specific times and places, particularly early modern Europe and twentieth-century Africa. And much of that research interprets sorcery as merely a remnant of premodern traditions. Boldly challenging these views, Sorcery in the Black Atlantic takes a longer historical and broader geographical perspective, contending that sorcery is best understood as an Atlantic phenomenon that has significant connections to modernity and globalization.A distinguished group of contributors here examine sorcery in Brazil, Cuba, South Africa, Cameroon, and Angola. Their insightful essays reveal the way practices and accusations of witchcraft spread throughout the Atlantic world from the age of discovery up to the present, creating an indelible link between sorcery and the rise of global capitalism. Shedding new light on a topic of perennial interest, Sorcery in the Black Atlantic will be provocative, compelling reading for historians and anthropologists working in this growing field.READ LESSABOUT SORCERY IN THE BLACK ATLANTIC312 pages | 6 x 9 | 2011AFRICAN STUDIESAnthropology: CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGYHistory: AFRICAN HISTORY, LATIN AMERICAN HISTORYLATIN AMERICAN STUDIESTABLE OF CONTENTS1 Introduction: Sorcery in the Black AtlanticRoger Sansi and Luis Nicolau Parés2 Sorcery and Fetishism in the Modern AtlanticRoger Sansi3 Sorcery in Brazil: History and HistoriographyLaura de Mello e Souza4 Candomblé and Slave Resistance in Nineteenth-Century BahiaJoão José Reis5 Chiefs into Witches: Cosmopolitan Discourses of the Nation, Treason, and Sorcery; The Pondoland Revolt, South AfricaKatherine Fidler6 Charlatans and Sorcerers: The Mental Hygiene Service in 1930s Recife, BrazilDaniel Stone7 From Enchantment by Science to Socialist Sorcery: The Cuban Republic and Its Savage SlotStephan Palmié8 The Logic of Sorcery and Democracy in Contemporary BrazilYvonne Maggie9 Naming the Evil: Democracy and Sorcery in Contemporary Cameroon and South AfricaBasile Ndjio10 Families, Churches, the State, and the Child Witch in AngolaLuena Nunes Pereira11 Sorcery, Territories, and Marginal Resistances in Rio de JaneiroPatricia Birman12 Witchcraft and Modernity: Perspectives from Africa and BeyondPeter GeschiereBibliographyList of ContributorsIndexFrom the Seller:You're invited to explore my profile, where you can browse through a selection of several other books at your pleasure.
