In particular, delves into her experiences of gender expression around kimbanda, a line that has experienced a remarkable growth in recent years at the local level. Through in-depth observations and interviews, she investigates the link established between the followers and the female sponsor of the ritual, Pomba Gira. Finally, it identifies that this identity construction is not only based on the daily life of the temple, but is legitimized by mythical, socio-religious and historical aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
