    Power in Practice: The Pragmatic Anthropology of Afro-Brazilian Capoeira

    Sergio González Varela, "Power in Practice: The Pragmatic Anthropology of Afro-Brazilian Capoeira"
    English | ISBN: 1785336355 | 2017 | 182 pages | PDF | 800 KB

    Considering the concept of power in capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian ritual art form, Varela describes ethnographically the importance that capoeira leaders (mestres) have in the social configuration of a style called Angola in Bahia, Brazil. He analyzes how individual power is essential for an understanding of the modern history of capoeira, and for the themes of embodiment, play, cosmology, and ritual action. The book also emphasizes the great significance that creativity and aesthetic expression have for capoeira’s practice and performance.
