The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions explores the global spread of religions originating in Brazil; a country that has emerged as a major pole of religious innovation and production. Through ethnographically-rich case studies throughout the world; ranging from the Americas (Canada; the U.S.; Peru; and Argentina) and Europe (the U.K.; Portugal; and the Netherlands) to Asia (Japan) and Oceania (Australia); the book examines the conditions; actors; and media that have made possible the worldwide construction; circulation; and consumption of Brazilian religious identities; practices; and lifestyles; including those connected with indigenized forms of Pentecostalism and Catholicism; African-based religions such as Candomble and Umbanda; as well as diverse expressions of New Age Spiritism and Ayahuasca-centered neo-shamanism like Vale do Amanhecer and Santo Daime.
