Descrizione:Using a more fluid approach to Portelli (1988) Italian oral history, I focus on the testimony of Roms leaders Mirian Stanescon (2007) and Mio Vacite (2008) to better understand the emergence and rise of Santa Sara Kali in the cultural, spiritual and ethnopolitical panorama in contemporary Brazil. By revealing Santa Sara’s influence on the construction of ethnic policies in Brasília, Mirian offers rich reflections on the possible links between religiosity and power, while Mio Vacite makes us reflect on the potential charismatic construction of a European gypsy saint in contemporary Brazil, and of the possible and necessary negotiations and transformations of Brazilian hybrid ciganidade.
