Abstract
This article offers a critique of minority politics as the only avenue for political dispute by historically oppressed groups. The thesis is that there is no authentic dispute within the segregation paradigm, thus calling attention to the demand for more sophisticate and radical political idioms. The author proceeds in this direction by giving voice to the oldest, most traditional Afro-Brazilian worshipping grounds (terreiros) in the city of Recife. Through these voices, one hears that even while the Afro-Brazilian religion sticks to its critical stance (frequently unnoticed by observers), it aspires to universality and resists constraining its protest to a territory marked by identity.
