Abstract

The article seeks to show the importance of the work of Edison Carneiro, a Bahian and black intelectual, who throughout his life has focused on cultural and Afro-Brazilian studies, especially with regard to African-based religions. For this, the article proposes to describe, roughly speaking, his biography, and to show the obstacles that the intellectual suffered and still suffers for lack of (re)knowledge. The article aims to demonstrate the relevance of the research carried out throughout his life, and to examine the contribution and criticism of his works in the field of sociology and anthropology.
