| Summary: | This article analyzes the ways in which five religious groups — CatholicBase Communities and Charismatics; Mainline Protestants; Pentecostals andneo-Pentecostals — in a slum in Duque de Caxias (Baixada Fluminense in theperiphery of Rio de Janeiro) view drug trafficking, the police, and local politicalpower. Taking the establishment of a model of political domination based onclientelism and violence as the socio-political backdrop, the article examines howthe State becomes entwined with drug trafficking and how it benefits from theviolence generated by this trafficking. The article also explores responses to thisdynamics in the religious field, highlighting links between various religiousideologies and practices and the local structure of domination, particularly asembodied in clientelism and its electoral expression. |
