Description

Explore the global rise of capoeira through this original ethnographic study from Routledge. As the Brazilian dance-fight-game expands into a popular leisure activity and professional career, this book examines its impact across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Based on recent research conducted in the UK, this work provides a detailed look at the martial art as a global phenomenon. It goes beyond simple observation to offer deep insights into how capoeira connects to broader social themes. Readers will find a wealth of data regarding masculinities, performativity, and embodiment. This study is a valuable resource for those interested in how globalization affects traditional practices. It examines rites of passage and the cultural movement of capoeira practitioners worldwide. Whether you are a student of performing arts or interested in the sociology of sport, this book offers a unique perspective on this dynamic Brazilian tradition.
