"In Bahia one finds what people have affectionately have in common and not what aggressively sets them apart. As Pierre Fatumbi Verger perceived this with such profound understanding, all that remains for me to do is thank everyone who is present, in words and pictures, in this book. Occasional passersby, homeless lunatics, stall owners or street festivals, vendors at Sâo Joaquim market, Candomblé priests and priestesses in human or deified form." (Neto).
