| dcterms.abstract | This thesis will address matters of gender and race in Pierre Verger’s photographs of Brazilian Candomblé. Candomblé religion subverts not only race oppression, but gender oppression as well. It is one of the few social spaces where Afro-Brazilians, especially women, assume positions of power. In analyzing Verger's pictures, I will define the extent to which he is successful in translating this subversion to an exterior audience not familiar with the traditions of the religion. | |
