Abstract

This article is an approach to the life of Joao ck Camargo, a former slave and a religious leader, in the São Paulo State. Camargo's religion, assembling
African, Catholic and Spiritualist issues, offers a small-scale model of the religious processes in Brazilian XXth. century. It's "ethnic" mark is discussed regarding the performance of Camargo as a "black": in fact, there is rather a
black character than a black protagonist. The old-fashioned term "syncretism" can prove meaningful in this context.
