This book explores the proliferation and spread of Brazilian-born
religious forms and practices throughout the world. The global
diffusion of Brazilian religions provides an excellent lens to
understand contemporary religious forms. As the book shows,
religious movements as diverse as Santo Daime, Candomble, Capoeira,
John of God, and Brazilian style Pentecostalism and Catholicism,
have become immensely popular in many places outside Brazil. This
global spread is not merely the result of Brazilian migrants taking
their religions abroad, it is also due to global media and to
spiritual seekers, travelling to and from Brazil. Global
Trajectories of Brazilian Religion demonstrates that in a dynamic
space of historical and cultural production, Brazil is imagined and
re-created as an authentic, spiritual, and sensual place that
functions as the center for various global religions. To understand
the new cross-fertilizations between religion, life-style, tourism
and migration, this book introduces the notion of 'Lusospheres', a
term that refers to the historical Portuguese colonial reach, yet
signals the contemporary modes of cultural interaction in a
different geo-political age.
