Coins for the Dead, Money on the Floor: Mortuary Ritual in Bahian Candomblé
This paper examines the exchange of money, commodities, and services among religious adepts and between humans and their ancestors in a Candomblé mortuary ritual in Cachoeira, Bahia, Brazil. In the axexé, profits from secret ceremonies fund communal devotions. Communal devotions tie initiatic kin together through reciprocity. Mortuary rituals sever these ties when initiatic family members die. Parties in the service of benevolent deities bring fa…
Austerity, luxury and uncertainty in the Indian emerald trade
This article examines the bodily practices of austerity in a Jain community that dominates a large portion of the international emerald trade. The material characteristics of emeralds make them refractory towards formal markets. These gemstones are impossible to value with consistency. Prices fluctuate wildly as the stones move from hand to hand and from continent to continent. Among the Jains, bonds forged by kinship and religious observance gua…

The emerald business as it is practiced outside of I ndia is rife with violence, lying, cheating, sexual exuberance, and a deep attachment to shiny green stones. There seemed to be a contradiction between the model of personal piety envisioned by J ainism and their participation in such an imp…

Dona Preta’s Trek To Cachoeira
Dona Preta is a priestess of an Afro-Brazilian religion. This chapter takes a skeptical view of what Africa has to do with the local construction of the authenticity of adepts of Afro-Brazilian religions and the efficacy of the services that they provide. It focuses on the city of Cachoeira, a hinterland hub of Candomble practice, and on the arid backlands which have long looked to Cachoeira for religious succor. The chapter explores the tenuous …

The Music of the Bahian Caboclos
The Caboclos are a pantheon of deities worshipped in the Candombl s of Bahia and throughout Brazil. They are Brazilian cowboys and Indians f ted at public parties and private ceremonies and invoked by devotees to work on earth. The incorporation of this pantheon was enabled by the pragmatic efficacy attributed to music in ritual contexts of Candombl worship. In these ceremonies, music is not just an accompaniment to ritual actions; it is the mean…

These states have always been foremost among those that invariably have resisted progressive economic, p…
