In Search of Legitimacy: How Outsiders Become Part of the Afro-Brazilian Capoeira Tradition - Dance and Performance Studies
Lauren Miller Griffith
Every year, young adults from Western nations travel to Brazil to train in the dance/martial art of capoeira. This ethnography uses the concept of apprenticeship pilgrimage-studying with a local master at a historical point of origin-to explore how non-Brazilians learn their art and claim legitimacy within capoeira communities.
