From Fanatics To Folk Rejects Conventional Understandings Of Brazilian Millenarianism As Exceptional And Selfdefeating. Considering Millenarianism Over The Long Sweep Of Brazilian History, Patricia R. Pessar Shows It To Have Been Both Dominant Discourse And Popular Cultureat Different Times The Inspiration For Colonial Conquest, For Backlanders Resistance To A Modernizing Church And State, And For The Nostalgic Appropriation By Todays Elites In Pursuit Of Traditional Folklore And Authentic Expressions Of Faith. Pessar Focuses On Santa Brgida, A Northeast Brazilian Millenarian Movement Begun In The 1930S. She Examines The Movement From Its Founding By Pedro Batistainitially Disparaged As A Charlatan By The Backland Elite And Later Celebrated As A Modernizer, Patriot, And Benefactorthrough The Contemporary Struggles Of Its Followers To Maintain Their Transgressive Religious Beliefs In The Face Of Increased Attention From Politicians, Clergy, Journalists, Filmmakers, Researchers, And Museum Curators.Pessar Combines Cultural History Spanning The Colonial Period To The Present; Comparative Case Studies Of The Canudos, Contestado, Juazeiro, And Santa Brgida Movements; And Three Decades Of Ethnographic Research In The Brazilian Northeast. Highlighting The Involvement Of A Broad Range Of Individuals And Institutions, The Crossfertilization Between Movements, Contestation And Accommodation Visvis The Church And State, And Matters Of Spirituality And Faith, From Fanatics To Folk Reveals Brazilian Millenarianism As Longenduring And Constantly In Flux.
