AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION
African religion and Candomble
| The slaver, concerned
solely with the slaves' work capacity and hence their bodily strength, was
unable to reach their inner life force - that is, their gods, their myths,
and their values, which were in their minds and gave them the inward
strength to survive, to resist and to find self-renewal in a hostile
environment.
