| Sumario: | This article analyzes how rumbera movies contributed to the emergence of narratives of fear around black Latin American religiosity. From its beginnings in the 1930 decade, the aesthetics and stories of this film genre cast diverse formal and festive religious manifestations as a part of black people's primitive and immoral condition. This joined with fears around big cities, violence and the colonial legacy of Latin American countries, so creating cultural products in which a latent fear can be perceived. This article makes a brief analysis of these processes, mainly in some films performed by Ninón Sevilla in the 1950 decade. |
