Summary:
In this book, Ana Mametto explores the origins and significance of Pombagira, an entity worshipped in African-derived religions in Brazil. Drawing on existing literature and expert perspectives, the author delves into issues of prejudice, stereotypes, freedom of belief, religious persecution and intolerance. The book aims to shed light on these topics through the history of Pombagira, an entity that emerged in the early 20th century symbolizing women's resistance to patriarchal oppression. It examines factors contributing to symbolic violence against Afro-Brazilian religions while expanding knowledge about Orixá worship and Umbanda rituals, highlighting Pombagira's importance in the struggle for freedom and equality.
