1. Matory, JL. "Feminismo, nacionalismo, e a luta pelo significado do adé no Candomblé: ou, como Edison Carneiro e Ruth landes inverteram o curso da historia." Revista de Antropologia: Revista de Antropologia da Universidade de São Paulo  vol. 51 no. 1 ( 2008.): 107-120. [repository]

   Abstract:
   US-based feminist anthropologist Ruth Landes introduced homophobic ideas into the Brazilian elite's understanding and treatment of male-loving priests of the Afro-Brazilian Candomble religion. This influence helps to explain the relatively recent numerical dominance of priestesses over priests in this religion.
