Blessed Anastacia: Women, Race and Christianity in Brazil Book

The weakness of Brazil's black consciousness movement is commonly attributed to the fragility of Afro-Brazilian ethnic identity.

Blessed Anastacia describes how popular Christianity confronts everyday racism and contributes to the formation of racial identity.
