Abstract

Based on the process of censorship of the book Religion and Conflict, particularly because of the chapter "Controversy around infanticide: religious actors and anthropologists in action", I will try to present some of the strategies of extreme right-wing movements in Brazil to establish their agendas and discuss issues relating to the methodological requirements of anthropological research.
