PACHECO, Moreno Laborda. The santidade de jaguaripe revisited: tupi catholicism or cannibalism?. e-JPH [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.1-21.  Epub 31-Dez-2021. ISSN 1645-6432.  https://doi.org/10.26300/z97e-2174.

This essay seeks to review recent contributions to the analysis and interpretation of the Santidade de Jaguaripe, a political and religious movement of indigenous origin that caused a great stir in the city of Salvador, Bahia in the 1580s. At the center of the debate are the interpretations of this phenomenon that have prevailed since the 1990s, and their acceptance or rejection by more recent investigations. The impressions presented here stand on the border between historiography and ethnology, and, in addition to providing an overview of the question, they are also intended to provide a reflection on the models for interpreting the contact between Europeans and indigenous peoples, especially in relation to the emergence of different forms of hybrid religiosity arising from the shock of the conquest and the subsequent Catholic evangelization.

Palavras-chave : Santidade de Jaguaripe; Bahia; Brazil; Portuguese Empire; Evangelization.
