Hardcover. xiv, [1], 324 p.; 16 illus.; 23.5 cm. From the jacket: `Miracle at Joaseiro is the political history of a popular religious movement which flourished between 1889 and 1934 in the hinterlands of Brazil's impoverished Northeast. The movement was sparked by a reputed miracle. On 1 March 1889, Padre Cicero Romao Batista, the devout Roman CAtholic chaplain of the backland hamlet of Joaseiro, administered communion to a pious young woman. Within moments, the white host was transformed into blood that contemporary observers and subsequent believers contended was the blood of Jesus Christ shed again to redeem manking. This collective belief became the foundation-stone of a popular religious movement that defied both church and state, while Padre Cicero, twice excommunicated by the Holy Roman Inquisition and denounced as a subversive by political authorities, was transfigured into a living folk-hero by the oppressed rural masses of the Brazilian Northeast. Equally remarkable was the later transformation of the Joaseiro movement into a major force in Northeastern politics and of Padre Cicero into one of the most powerful political figures in the region's history. In recording the movement's past, Professor della Cava interviewed many prominent inhabitants of Joaseiro and was the first scholar to rely extensively on two important archival sources: the one, Padre Cicero's extant personal, lifetime correspondence; the other, the ecclesiastical archives of the Diocese of crato, the chief record of the movement -- as perceived by the church hierarchy -- from 1889 until 1900.'

Paperback. Condition: New. New; Livro de referência sobre Padre Cícero, o clássico dos anos 1970 é tido como o primeiro estudo imparcial sobre o líder político e religioso do Cariri.Publicado originalmente em 1977 - agora reeditado com nova apresentação do sociólogo Eduardo Diatahy Bezerra de Menezes e prefácio do autor -, Milagre em Joaseiro causou verdadeira revolução nos estudos sobre Padre Cícero. Nas lentes do antropólogo e historiador americano, Cícero não é santo nem impostor. A partir de pesquisas incansáveis nos baús que ocultavam a documentação da intolerância da hierarquia eclesiástica no processo contra o sacerdote - e sem descartar a montanha dos escritos de detratores e apologetas do religioso -, Della Cava soube se posicionar de maneira equidistante das linhas antagonistas de interpretação.Apoiado em seus conhecimentos de história econômica e política, o brasilianista reconstitui o período longe das explicações simplificadoras e reducionistas em termos de fanatismos e messianismos. Simples e devoto, Cícero aparece no livro como tantos outros sacerdotes do Sertão do século XIX, erigido antes pelas circunstâncias que por qualquer característica pessoal notável a uma das figuras mais polêmicas da história do Brasil. Defensor involuntário de um "milagre", foi denunciado pela Igreja como impostor, por temerosos coronéis e chefes políticos como perigoso agitador e aclamado pelas massas de sertanejos como santo injustiçado capaz de livrar os pobres e enfermos de suas aflições. Por um complexo jogo de fatores, coube ao obscuro sacerdote desempenhar um papel dos mais relevantes na vida política do Ceará, canalizando os descontentamentos das populações miseráveis e contendo-os, numa região onde já dominavam tendências milenaristas e onde era comum a prática religiosa marcada pela fé ingênua e exaltada e, por outro lado, comandando, em virtude das forças sociais e políticas que despertou, um movimento religioso e popular de grande amplitude.; 497 pages.
