Capoeira, a Brazilian battle dance and national sport, has become popular all over the world. First brought to Brazil by African slaves and first documented in the late eighteenth century, capoeira has undergone many transformations as it has diffused throughout Brazilian society and beyond, taking on a multiplicity of meanings for those who participate in it and for the societies in which it is practiced. In this book, Maya Talmon-Chvaicer combines cultural history with anthropological research to offer an in-depth study of the development and meaning of capoeira, starting with the African cultures in which it originated and continuing up to the present day. Using a wealth of primary sources, Talmon-Chvaicer analyzes the outlooks on life, symbols, and rituals of the three major cultures that inspired capoeira—the Congolese (the historic area known today as Congo-Angola), the Yoruban, and the Catholic Portuguese cultures. As she traces the evolution of capoeira through successive historical eras, Talmon-Chvaicer maintains a dual perspective, depicting capoeira as it was experienced, observed, and understood by both Europeans and Africans, as well as by their descendants. This dual perspective uncovers many covert aspects of capoeira that have been repressed by the dominant Brazilian culture. This rich study reclaims the African origins and meanings of capoeira, while also acknowledging the many ways in which Catholic-Christian culture has contributed to it. The book will be fascinating reading not only for scholars but also for capoeira participants who may not know the deeper spiritual meanings of the customs, amulets, and rituals of this jogo da vida, "game of life."

Capoeira: How it Started in Africa and Became Awesome in Brazil" is a book all about this amazing martial art. It talks about where Capoeira came from, way back in Africa. Long ago, people in Africa started doing this special kind of dance and fighting. Then, something sad happened. People from other places came and took them away from their homes, far across the ocean. They became slaves in a faraway land called Brazil. In Brazil, the people who were slaves couldn't do their special dance and fight openly. But they were clever. They turned their dancing into a secret way to fight and protect themselves. This was the beginning of Capoeira in Brazil. As time went on, Capoeira became more than just a way to fight. It became a part of Brazilian culture. People all over Brazil started to learn and practice Capoeira. But it wasn't always easy. Sometimes, the people who ruled Brazil didn't like Capoeira. They tried to stop people from doing it. But the people who loved Capoeira found ways to keep it alive, even if they had to do it in secret. The book talks about the special people called "Mestres" who helped keep Capoeira alive. These Mestres were like teachers. They passed down the knowledge of Capoeira from one generation to the next. They made sure that Capoeira stayed true to its roots, even as it changed and grew over time. Capoeira didn't just stay in Brazil. It traveled to other parts of the world too. People from all over started to learn about Capoeira and practice it in their own countries. This helped Capoeira become even more famous and loved around the world. Today, Capoeira is still going strong. It's not just a way to fight anymore. It's a way to connect with others, to express yourself, and to celebrate life. Capoeira has become a symbol of strength, resilience, and freedom. In this book, you'll learn about the history of Capoeira, from its origins in Africa to its journey to Brazil and beyond. You'll meet the people who kept Capoeira alive through centuries of struggle. And you'll discover how Capoeira continues to inspire and empower people around the world today. So come along on this journey through the world of Capoeira. Discover its rich history, its vibrant culture, and its enduring legacy. And maybe, just maybe, you'll find a little bit of Capoeira's spirit within yourself too.

Capoeira is simultaneously a dance, a fight, and a game. Created by the Africans brought to Brazil as slaves beginning in 1500, capoeira was forbidden by law but survived underground. When open practice was allowed in the 1930s it soon became very popular. Capoeira came to America around 1975, and has become widely recognized by dancers and martial artists. The author discusses capoeira's evolution from Brazilian street play into a way of life. The philosophy of capoeira, and the practical and spiritual benefits of this philosophy, are also discussed. Instructions and exercises in intermediate and advanced skills take up where the author's previous book left off. The book includes 100 black-and-white photos and illustrations.

Capoeira is a martial art developed by African slaves in Brazil from the 16th century, as a result of the fusion of several ethnic groups that originally brought with them to South America their cultural identity, as well as their seeds of liberty. Despite the strong evidence of influence from a plurality of other forms of ancient African martial arts, capoeira is essentially an original Brazilian expression with many practitioners and enthusiasts in every continent. Although capoeira values much of its cultural and historical aspects, no one should be misled - it is an efficient and deadly fighting system! As a result of its development throughout the years, capoeira became the richest and the most spectacular and beautiful martial art on the planet. However, what even most capoeiristas do not know is that this fascinating martial art can turn into a gracefully athletic and also lethal weapon at the hands (and feet) of any disciplined, serious practitioner. In this book you will learn unique secrets of capoeira as performed in the roda or in actual combat. Moves, ground fighting and aerial techniques are fully described to the level of perfection, with the help of hundreds of pictures. Diagrams explain special manoeuvres never before published in the world of martial arts.

Like snapshots of everyday life in the past, the compelling biographies in this book document the making of the Black Atlantic world since the sixteenth century from the point of view of those who were part of it. Centering on the diaspora caused by the forced migration of Africans to Europe and across the Atlantic to the Americas, the chapters explore the slave trade, enslavement, resistance, adaptation, cultural transformations, and the quest for citizenship rights. The variety of experiences, constraints and choices depicted in the book and their changes across time and space defy the idea of a unified "black experience." At the same time, it is clear that in the twentieth century, "black" identity unified people of African descent who, along with other "minority" groups, struggled against colonialism and racism and presented alternatives to a version of modernity that excluded and alienated them. Drawing on a rich array of little-known documents, the contributors reconstruct the lives and times of some well-known characters along with ordinary people who rarely left written records and would otherwise have remained anonymous and unknown.

This collection gives voice to the peoples and groups impacted by globalization as they seek to negotiate their identities, language use, and territorial boundaries within a larger global context. Rather than viewing globalization as one-dimensional (i.e., cultural, economic, or political), the approaches taken by the authors reflect a nuanced and multifaceted discussion of globalization that integrates all three perspectives. They explore identity, boundaries, language use, and other issues in the context of specific temporal and spatial contexts.
