Description

Explore the complex evolution of Capoeira in this academic study from Routledge. This book traces the journey of a practice that began as a tool for survival among Afro-Brazilian slaves and marginalized communities, eventually transforming into a mainstream global sport. As Capoeira moves toward potential Olympic recognition, the text examines the tension between two distinct perspectives. Traditionalists fight to protect their cultural heritage and the martial roots used to resist injustice, while reformers work to adapt the practice for international sporting competition. This volume provides a deep look at how social class and global recognition change the meaning of a cultural tradition. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of martial arts, history, and social change.
