The exceptionality and interest of the book Terreiro do Bogum - Memories of a Jeje-Mahi community in Bahia , by Everaldo Conceição Duarte, is due to the fact that it deals with the memory of Bogum, a Terreiro founded by African women in the 19th century, which, next to the sister house of Roça do Ventura, in Cachoeira, stands today as a matrix or ritual model of the Candomblé of the Jeje-Mahi nation in Bahia and Brazil. Thus, this book is born as a precious contribution to the heritage of Afro-descendant culture, because it is the story of Candomblé Jeje told “from the inside”, through the voice of one of its children, a member of one of the most illustrious lineages of this religious tradition. As a testimony of lived experience, its historical value is unappealable, but it also carries the affective charge of personal memory, which evokes a collective past of suffering and resistance, of adversity, daily struggle and achievement, of solidarity and dignity. In this sense, Agbagigan's clear words, by bringing to light fragments of his subjective memories, regale us with revealing visions of the past of the black Brazilian people as a whole. A singular gift that the reader who enters its pages will celebrate.
