RESUMO
In this thesis we analysed how the French sociologist Roger Bastide (1898- 1974) articulated the terms race/religion in this thought, and how, from this uses he elaborated a very peculiar reflections about prejudice and ?race relations? in Brazil. Our analysis focused in specifics aspects of Bastide?s texts, in which we can search his formulation to the debate of acculturation, cultural interpenetration, afrobrazilian religions and race relations. The candomblé from the nagô rite is showed in his texts as a sui generis case of integration and seems to be the key for understanding the reasons through which the author elaborated a certain kind of image and analysis about the afrodescendent population in this context. The others keys are: the polemic around the reportages published in Paris Match and O Cruzeiro ? about the secret rituals of the candomblé and the possible uses that the author did for the surrealism and the history in O Candomblé da Bahia and As Religiões Africanas no Brasil. All those directions contributes to a complex analysis and suggests new functions and intentions for some of most importants texts of Roger Bastide, considering the time in which the were written
