--Kathleen J. Higgins, California State University, Sacramento
"This fresh and insightful endeavor is of interest to confraternity scholars first and foremost because of its focus on sodalities for non-whites--something that, to my knowledge, is very scarce in scholarship in this field."
--Vanessa McCarthy, Confraternitas
"While her analysis of the twentieth century is less detailed, she raises critical questions for scholars studying the Afro-Brazilian community during these important decades. In general, Blacks of the Rosary is an important book for scholars working on the African Diaspora, the history of Afro-Brazilians, and religious practices."
--Angela Vergara, Canadian Journal of History
"This is an important story, and Kiddy does a fine job of presenting it to an English readership. The range of the book--from early eighteenth century to the present--provides an evolving lens through which the nature of the traditions and the communities that practiced them unfold. Given the importance of lay religious cultural contribution of Central Africans in the Americas, this book is highly recommended to students and scholars of Latin American history."
--Alida C. Metcalf, The Americas
"A challenging and rewarding read, the book offers scholars a valuable resource for the understanding of the development of social and religious organization of 'blacks' in the African Diaspora."
--Carole Myscofski, American Historical Review
"This well-researched, thoroughly grounded study on the black Rosary brotherhoods of Minas Gerais is a pleasure to read. . . . Among the book's pleasures are introductory chapters surveying the history of the Rosary, Catholic lay organizations, the veneration of Our Lady of the Rosary, and Portuguese-African interaction."
--J. Rosenthal, Choice
