"Santo Daime: A New World Religion deals with a young, exotic and controversial religious
movement. Emerging in the Brazilian Amazon in the 1930s, Santo Daime has since spread
to many of the world's major cities. Santo Daime is a mixture of indigenous, popular
Catholic, Afro-Brazilian, esoteric, Spiritist, and new age beliefs and activities.
Ritual practice is centred on the consumption of a psychotropic beverage called 'Daime'
which members believe enhances their interaction with the supernatural world. Because
Daime is treated as an illegal narcotic in many parts of the world, outside of its
Brazilian homeland most Santo Daime rituals are practised clandestinely. This book
unites extensive fieldwork experience with an established theoretical background and
makes a significant contribution to understanding the contemporary interface of religion
and late-modern society. Individualization and religious subjectivism, pluralization
and religious hybridism, transformation and detraditionalization, globalization and
religious identity, and commoditization and religious consumption are among the many
issues engaged by this book. Santo Daime: A New World Religion is an accessible and
multi-disciplinary book suitable for undergraduate students and researchers working
in Religious Studies, Sociology of Religion, Anthropology, Cultural Studies and Latin
American Studies."--Publisher's website
