| Итог: | I argue for the power and value of food and foodways as an assertion of identity politics. A Festa de Divino Espírito Santo, the Afro-Catholic festival of the Holy Spirit, is quite prominent in the liturgical calendar of the Tambor de Mina and Candomblé communities of Sao Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. This intersection of religio-cultural syncretism, glocal tourism and commensality asserts African-Brazilian racial identity and fealty. This multidisciplinary ethnography will include historical analysis of corresponding religious traditions and tourist marketing messages. Additionally, it identifies the role and indigenous knowledge of women supplicants, and how the festival is a marker of Maranhensidade (Maranhão-ness). |
