Religion and the Politics of Ethnic Identity in Bahia, Brazil

New World Diasporas Edited by Kevin A. Yelvington This series seeks to stimulate critical perspectives on diaspora processes in the New World. Representations of “race” and ethnicity, the origins and consequences of nationalism, migratory streams and the advent of transnationalism, the dialectics of “homelands” and diasporas, trade networks, gender relations in immigrant communities, the politics of displacement and exile, and the utilization of the past to serve the present are among the phenomena addressed by original, provocative research in disciplines such as anthropology, history, political science, and sociology.
