Anthropological writings

In this book I address three anthropological writings, one of them linked to symbols and death, another relating the religious and political fields, and a third the theme of raciality. In doing so, I attempt to address several themes linked to social anthropology. In the case of symbols and death there is a study of visual anthropology in a cemetery in the city of Montevideo, in the other the dialogue between religion and politics, specifically in the case of Umbandism, and the third explores the Artigas archive to link the participation of Afro-descendants and slaves in the Artiguista army from 1811 to 1820.
