Capoeira em Múltiplos Olhares
Os trabalhos demonstram que as práticas dos capoeiras não são singulares, atravessando grupos sociais diversos, revelando a sociedade brasileira. Talvez isso tenha capacitado os capoeiras, ou alguns capoeiras, a se tornarem capoeiristas, a lutarem contra as ações repressivas sustentadas pelo artigo 402 do código criminal de 1890 e transformarem a capoeira em luta marcial, esporte e educação física. Os representantes de diversos grupos sociais, praticantes da capoeira, se reuniram novamente. Já não era mais Camisa Preta, Manduca da Praia, Antonio Boca de Porco e Nascimento o Grande. A reunião objetivou colocar a capoeira entre as lutas internacionais,sendo ela a única nacional, construída no Brasil; essas foram as alegações dos principais protagonistas. Surgiram mestre Zuma, mestre Bimba, mestre Sinhozinho, mestre Pastinha, novas abordagens, novas fontes, novos objetos para um mundo dos capoeiristas que (re)inventavam uma tradição.
African Heritage and Memories of Slavery in Brazil and the South Atlantic World
This book explores the history of African tangible and intangible heritages and its links with the public memory of slavery in Brazil and Angola. The two countries are deeply connected, given how most enslaved Africans, forcibly brought to Brazil during the era of the Atlantic slave trade, were from West Central Africa. Brazil imported the largest number of enslaved Africans during the Atlantic slave trade and was the last country in the western hemisphere to abolish slavery in 1888. Today, other than Nigeria, the largest population of African descent is in Brazil. Yet it was only in the last twenty years that Brazil's African heritage and its slave past have gained greater visibility. Prior...

Becoming Black Political Subjects
After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research, Tianna Paschel shows how, over a short period, black movements an...

Graceful Resistance
Capoeira began as a martial art developed by enslaved Afro-Brazilians. Today, the practice incorporates song, dance, acrobatics, and theatrical improvisation—and leads many participants into activism. Lauren Miller Griffith’s extensive participant observation with multiple capoeira groups informs her ethnography of capoeiristas--both individuals and groups--in the United States. Griffith follows practitioners beyond their physical training into social justice activities that illuminate capoeira’s strong connection to resistance and subversion. As both individuals and communities of capoeiristas, participants march against racial discrimination, celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, organize professional clothing drives for job seekers, and pursue economic and environmental justice in their neighborhoods. For these people, capoeira becomes a type of serious leisure that contributes to personal growth, a sense of belonging, and an overall sense of self, while also imposing duties and obligations. An innovative look at capoeira in America, Graceful Resistance reveals how the practicing of an art can catalyze action and transform communities.
