Overview
Expect no deep scholarly treatment, warns Merrell (Purdue U.) as he draws on his personal experience and reading to provide an introduction and impression of the music-dance-sport Capoeira, created by African slaves in Brazil, and Candombelé, a hybrid religion combining Catholic and African beliefs and practices. The two are intimately related, he says, and together make up a coherent form of life in Brazil. He has not indexed his work. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
