Guided by Brazilian history and informed by his own journey, Simas has produced a unique and original study that aims to tell the country's history through the lens of Umbanda—so Brazilian that Umbanda is, it becomes plural. That's why the word \"Umbanda\" in the title of this book is not in the singular. The country's diversity, according to the author, is manifested in the various Umbanda traditions that exist, which have multiplied in stories like that of his grandmother, a woman from Alagoas who grew up in Pernambuco and moved to Rio de Janeiro, bringing her beliefs and rites with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWhile Catholicism was imposed by the Jesuits and the cult of the Orishas arrived in Brazil with the arrival of Africans, Umbanda became a Brazilian religion, truly ours, of our people—or of our peoples. In an approach that is at times political, at times poetic, and always documentary, Luiz Antonio Simas elaborates with historical rigor and literary verve the disputes that arise in the symbolic field in which Umbanda is constituted as a religion. By mapping this path, he tells us the history of Brazil in beautiful chronicles, which not only make for enjoyable reading but also serve as an extraordinary document for studies on non-white religiosities in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWe learn a lot in this history lesson that Professor Simas offers us in \u003cem\u003eUmbandas: A History of Brazil\u003c\/em\u003e .
