Auto-portrait of Pierre Verger (1952)
Pierre Edouard Leopold Verger, alias Fatumbi or Fátúmbí (4 November 1902, in Paris – 11 February 1996, in Salvador, Brazil) was a photographer, self-taught ethnographer, and babalawo (Yoruba priest of Ifà) who devoted most of his life to the study of the African diaspora — the slave trade, the African-based religions of the new world, and the resulting cultural and economical flows from and to Africa.[1]
^Carole Cusack, Alex Norman Handbook of New Religions and Cultural Production 2012- Page 480 "... were the french anthropologists Pierre Verger (1902–1996) and Roger Bastide (1898–1974), who both turned out to be a kind of 'culture hero' for both Candomblé and the afro-brazilian people."
