Description

Ilê Aiyê redefines itself within shifting political realities of the Brazilian mythic racial paradise. The globalization agenda of the tourism industry places its Africanized strategies in dialectical tension with State's funding. the discussion of 'race' is inevitable as Ilê Aiyê questions the economically marginalizing status of Afro-Brazilians.
