Said to be the disembodied spirit of an unruly harlot, Pomba Gira is a controversial figure in Brazil. Devotees maintain that Pomba Gira possesses an intimate knowledge of human affairs and the mystical power to intervene in the human world. Others view this entity more ambivalently. Kelly E. Hayes provides an intimate and engaging account of the intricate relationship between Pomba Gira and one of her devotees, Nazaré da Silva. Combining Nazaré's spiritual biography with analysis of the gender politics and violence that shapes life on the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Hayes highlights Pomba Gira's role in the rivalries, relationships, and struggles of everyday life in urban Brazil.A DVD of the film Slaves of the Saints is included. 606 $aPomba-Gira 606 $aAfro-Brazilian cults$zBrazil 607 $aBrazil$xReligious life and customs 610 $aafro brazilian. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $ablack magic. 610 $abrazil. 610 $acontemporary brazil. 610 $acontroversial figures. 610 $afemininity. 610 $afeminism. 610 $agender politics. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agendered violence. 610 $amagic. 610 $amodern history. 610 $amorality. 610 $amystical. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apomba gira. 610 $aprostitution. 610 $areligious figures. 610 $areligious practices. 610 $ario de janeiro. 610 $arituals. 610 $asex politics. 610 $asexuality. 610 $asocial marginality. 610 $asocial science. 610 $aspirits. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $asuperstitious. 610 $aurban brazil. 610 $aworld religions. 615 0$aPomba-Gira. 615 0$aAfro-Brazilian cults 676 $a306.6/996121140981 700 $aHayes$b Kelly E.$f1968-$01502387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787592603321 996 $aHoly harlots$93730102 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02662nam 2200613 a 450 001 9910785661603321 005 20230725030532.0 010 $a1-282-81212-2 010 $a9786612812125 010 $a1-4416-7509-4 010 $a93-5043-247-1 035 $a(CKB)2670000000068209 035 $a(EBL)588066 035 $a(OCoLC)700691265 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000672453 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11452001 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000672453 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10634526 035 $a(PQKB)10486751 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3011354 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC588066 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4953343 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3011354 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10416000 035 $a(OCoLC)923634176 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL588066 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000068209 100 $a20100928d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEngineering economics$b[electronic resource] /$fDr. E.
