Abstract

ABSTRACT

This text presents an interview with the African-Brazilian priest José Raimundo Froes Rodrigues, held at Ilê Asé Toju Fun Baba Kaibi. The interview was conducted for the production of the monograph Axé and resistance: narratives of African-Brazilian communities on racism and religious intolerance in Macapá, presented to the Specialization Course in Cultural Studies and Public Policies, at the Federal University of Amapá (Unifap). In the methodological part, field research was applied, using semi-structured interviews and a partially defined script. The answers presented show the interviewee's perspective on cultural knowledge, narrating the re-encounter with African-Brazilian traditions and the struggle for respect for his religious identity.

Keywords: Religious racism; Religious intolerance; Candomblé.
