Discovering Islam in Brazil pulsates or alternates between the history of the Islamic religion, its main theological precepts and its daily practices, and how all this is transported and realized in the daily life of Brazilian Muslims, or those who live in Brazil? which carries a very particular national characteristic: the ease in living with distinct and distant cultures, even if for a certain indifference.Be that as it may, Islam in Brazil hardly causes friction. It does not seem harsh. And for this reason it passes almost unnoticed. In this book, one of the most complex and little understood themes of the contemporary world is approached simultaneously, like a prism turned in one’s hands, giving to see at each turn one of its facets. The facets are countless. But the prism is one.Underneath it all, do Muslim women wear underwear? How do they deal with menstruation? Why, after all, the veil? Do Muslims date? There is a feminine view on the most patriarchal religion in the world today in this book by Karla Lima.But this is, after all, only one more facet of this multifaceted text, in which many Muslims (very well) interviewed show their faces, while the face of Islam in Brazil is being unveiled.
