Tradition, Transnationalism, and Gender in the Afro-Brazilian Candomblé
Year: 2020
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: The transnational influence of US feminist anthropologist Ruth Landes and Brazilian nationalist pride fueled homophobia in the treatment of male Candomble priests by the Brazilian state and bourgeoisie. The "cult matriarchy" identified by Ruth Landes in the 1930s was less an observation than a self-fulfilling prophecy.
