Born Again in Brazil: The Pentecostal Boom and the Pathogens of Poverty by R. Andrew Chestnut, "For vivid insight, lively narrative and persuasive use of life histories, this is o major piece of ethnography". -- David Martin, University of London A spiritual revolution is transforming the religious landscape of Latin America. Evangelical Protestantism, particularly Pentecostalism, has replaced Catholicism as the leading religion in thousands of barrios on the urban periphery. But in few Latin American nations have Protestants multiplied as rapidly as in Brazil. What accounts for this rise? Combining historical, political, and ethnographic research, R. Andrew Chesnut shows that the relationship between faith healing and illness in the conversion process is integral to the popularity of Pentecostalism among Brazil's poor. While providing analysis of the economic and political factors, Chesnut draws on his extensive interview material to capture his informants' conversion experience. In doing so, he both provides a historical framework for understanding Pentecostalism in Latin America and insight into the motivations and beliefs of the crentes themselves. -- Analyzes major transformation in the religious landscape. -- Combines historical, political, and anthropological perspectives.
Viceroyalty of Brazil - The Portuguese Viceroyalty of Brazil encompassed not even the majority of current Brazil. It was restricted to its current South, Center-West and Southeastern regions, mainly as a result of expansionism from the Capitania de São Vicente, the current state of São Paulo, which then sought to alleviate its poverty by penetrating the hinterlands in search of Indian slaves and precious metals and stones. Fome Zero - Fome Zero (English]: Zero Hunger) is a [[Brazilian government program introduced by the president Luís Inácio Lula da Silva in 2002 with the objective to eradicate hunger and extreme poverty in Brazil. According to the program's website, 44 million people in Brazil are threatened by hunger. Poverty reduction - Poverty reduction or poverty alleviation is the weak form of poverty eradication. Two types of poverty are recognised - income poverty and non income poverty. Cortiço - Cortiço is a Portuguese term commonly used in Brazil and Portugal to describe an area of urban housing where many people live in conditions of poor hygiene and poverty. Some cortiços can be seen in big Brazilian and Portuguese cities such as São Paulo, Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Lisboa and Porto. povertyinbrazil
