Go with God

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Through deep attention to sense and feeling, Go with God grapples with the centrality of Evangelical faith in Rio de Janeiro's subúrbios, the city's expansive and sprawling peripheral communities.

Based on sensory ethnographic fieldwork attuned to religious desire and manipulation, this book shows how Evangelicalism has changed the way people understand their lives in relation to Brazil's history of violent racial differentiation and inequality.

From expressions of otherworldly hope to political exhaustion, Go with God depicts Evangelical life as it is lived and explores where people turn to find grace, possibility, and a future.
