O dia seguinte das mães de santo: efeitos do racismo religioso após depredações dos terreiros e violações do sagrado

Abstract

The present work consists of offering an analysis on the violences suffered by the terreiros of Afro-Brazilian religions - led by women - existing in Rio de Janeiro. The main objective of the research is to understand how cases of religious racism happen and how religious leaders react and understand this process, reflecting on the consequences of the racist structure that engender in cases of vilification suffered. It also aims to analyse the historical context of violence and degradation of the religious environment, this process that is becoming stronger every day and finding other agents to perpetuate religious persecution. This research, of qualitative and exploratory nature, uses semi-structured interviews, participant-observation and bibliographic review as tools of field construction. Thus, this work intends to collect and record data on religious racism, in order to analyse - via race and gender - the phenomenon of religious racism from the experiences of the researched houses and their leaders, and reflect on the issue of racism that acts directly in the marginalization of Afro religions.
