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.
