Description

Capoeira: The History of an Afro-Brazilian Martial Art traces the remarkable transformation of capoeira from a practice of enslaved Africans and Brazilian underclasses to a globally recognised sport taught in schools worldwide. This volume explores the cultural tensions between traditionalists who view capoeira as ancestral heritage and a tool against oppression, and reformers seeking international sporting legitimacy and Olympic recognition. The book examines how capoeira has evolved across social classes whilst retaining its roots in the maroon resistance movement. Part of Routledge's Sport in the Global Society series, this academic work provides essential context for understanding capoeira's journey from marginalised origins to mainstream acceptance, making it invaluable for students of dance history, martial arts, cultural studies, and Brazilian sociology.
