Reviews

The book's rich ethnographic description and extended, expert attention to music make it a unique and valuable contribution to the literature on Afro-Brazilian religions. --<em>Reading Religion</em>


Marc Gidal offers a ground-breaking study of the musical traditions of Brazils Afro-Brazilian religions ... The technical aspects of the musical boundary-work he describes should not prevent the student of Afro-Brazilian religions from thoroughly enjoying this book. Gidal has added to our understanding of how these Afro-Brazilian religious traditions clarify their distinct and overlapping histories. This study should be of interest to students of Afro-Brazilian religion, history, ethnography, and anthropology. * Patricia Barker Lerch, Nova Religio *
