"In Mexico, the Latino United States, Poland, and Brazil, the Black Madonna, manifested in the figures of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Matka Boska Czestochowska, and Nossa Senhora Aparecida/Iemanja, has been a symbol of identity and resistance against oppression, and the subject of curious iconographic transformations. These often conflict with the official control of church and state. Malgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba examines this complex figure from a comparative, cross-cultural, and dynamic perspective in four areas, going beyond the Spanish-speaking world. By encompassing and comparing Spanish American/Indian, Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Caribbean, east-central European, and Mexican American traditions, this book addresses fundamental questions of culture, such as interaction at the borderlands and parallel developments in distant locations. It examines these topics in the light of the theories of transculturation and syncretism, concluding with an analysis of contemporary uses of the Black Madonna and her role in a time of global culture and hybridization." -- Hardcover DJ.

A cultural icon, the Black Madonna is a blend of the Virgin Mary and ancient mother-goddesses from Eurasian, Native American, and African cultures. She is worshipped and adored by millions of people around the world. In this examination of the dark mother archetype, Oleszkiewicz-Peralba explores the Black Madonna's functions in the varied cultures of Poland, Mexico and the American Southwest, Brazil, and Cuba. In these four geographic settings, the Black Madonna has become a symbol of national identity, resistance against oppression, and empowerment for the female population.The opening chapter considers the Black Madonna in early East-Central European popular spirituality, folklore, and symbolism. Chapter two discusses the Virgin of Guadalupe and the creation of national mestizo identity in Mexico. The third chapter follows up with a study of Afro-Indo-European syncretism involving the Black Madonna in Brazil and the Caribbean. The fourth and final chapter discusses the Madonna in the form of the Virgin of Guadalupe in greater Mexico and the Latino United States.As shown in The Black Madonna in Latin America and Europe, this revered image has been a symbol of motherhood, protection, and identity in public ceremonies and private devotions, while subtly becoming a visible manifestation of the blending of cultures and religious beliefs over time and place.
