Description
Summary:In R. Bastides work one theme appears constantly, that of the meeting of different civilizations and in particular the clash between black and white cultures in Brazil. This article traces the origins and subsequent development of the Umbanda religion, and analyses its present social and religious characteristics, for it is an excellent field for studying Afro-Catholic syncretism in Brazil and also for testing the definition which R. B. suggests for this phenomenon in a study entitled « Collective memory and sociology of odd-jobs » (1970).
