Beskrivning

In Capoeira, Mobility, and Tourism: Preserving an Afro-Brazilian Tradition in a Globalized World, Sergio González Varela examines the mobility of capoeira leaders and practitioners. He analyzes their motivations and spirituality as well as their ability to reconfigure social practices. Varela draws on tourism mobilities, multisited ethnography, global networks, heritage, and the anthropology of ritual and religion in order to stress the commitment, dedication, and value that international practitioners bring to capoeira.For more information, check out A Conversation with Sergio González Varela.

Recensioner i media

“Capoeira, Mobility, and Tourism is a tour de force in every sense. Varela’s deep and close understanding of capoeira angola in Brazil is the pivot around which his powerful argument about global mobility turns.”
