Introduction : Brazil's Black Rome and the remaking of Bahian regional identity -- Salvador, Bahia, 1930-1954 -- The revitalization of African-Bahian culture -- Performing Bahia: public festivals, samba, and African-Bahian agency -- Rituals of inclusion: evolving discourses of Bahianness -- Carnival of the people: Batucadas and Afoxés -- The project of regional identity formation: culture, politics, and tourism -- Conclusion and epilogue : cultural politics in Bahia.
This book examines how in the middle of the twentieth century, Bahian elites began to recognize African-Bahian cultural practices as essential components of Bahian regional identity. Previously, public performances of traditionally African-Bahian practices such as capoeira, samba, and Candomblé during carnival and other popular religious festivals had been repressed in favor of more European traditions.
