This book examines Candombl©'s material culture and its relationship with the evolving cultural politics of Brazil. It employs artefacts as analytical tools to trace the emergence of a diasporic consciousness. By followiing the movements of artefacts historically, the study reveals how Candombl© has transitioned from a secluded sacred tradition marked by discrimination and persecution to its inclusion in the construction of a new cultural character in Brazil. While maintaining its esoteric traditions and contending with ongoing discrimination, the Candombl© sphere has evolved into a confluence of socio-religious and political expressions in sacred and spectacular contexts. This research highlights the crucial role of artefacts in the various stages of Candombl©'s evolvement. It demonstrates how diasporic communities progressively exercise political and cultural significance within new societal contexts. The anticipated readership for this publication includes a diverse group of scholars, particularly those engaged in anthropology, material culture, art history, history, and religious studies.
