Aganju, Xangô, Alapalá. Racismo religioso, resistência e justiça em Tenda dos milagres (o romance e o filme)

ABSTRACT

Based on the premise of Alfredo Bosi (1996) about the potential of a narrative’s resistant character, the proposal of this article is to analyze the popular religiosity of candomblé in Tent of Miracles, the novel (1969) by Jorge Amado and the ethnological film (1977) by Nelson Pereira dos Santos. In the novel and in the film, candomblé appears as a place of identity, resistance, and struggle for justice for black and mixed-race people.
