"This work follows on 'West African Ritual and Sacred Art in Brazil' (Santos; Santos, 1967), a study completed in 1967. It is therefore, similarly, a comparative study of the religious system of the so-called Nagô in Brazil and its original elements in West Africa"--Page 16.

The related 1967 work was issued under the title: West African sacred art and rituals in Brazil : a comparative study / Deoscoredes M. dos Santos (Mestre Didi). It was written with the collaboration of Juana Elbein, New York.
