The second volume of a comprehensive history of the art and sport
of capoeira, this book picks up the story where volume I finished:
in the first decades of the 20th century. It describes the capoeira
"Bamba," mestre Bimba, who became renowned as a fighting champion
in Bahia and opened the first legal academy during the dictatorship
of Getulio Vargas. The reader follows the development of the schism
between the Regional and the older, original style, known as
Capoeira Angola, whose most high profile teacher was Mestre
Pastinha. The book provides fascinating insights into the rapid
explosion of capoeira internationally, and is packed with
interviews with Capoeira Mestres working in Brazil, Europe, and the
USA. This informative work covers the extraordinarily diverse
contemporary capoeira scene, with information on the contemporary
debates within the capoeira community. This book addresses such
questions as its influence, if any, on Japanese fighting arts;
capoeira's urban mythologized influence on "break dancing," and its
new popularity among the Hollywood glitterati. This book is filled
with useful information for those faced with the often-confusing
array of images and ideas circulating in the virtual world of
capoeira in cyberspace. This volume ends with the wisdom of a
number of mestres speaking about their experiences teaching
capoeira professionally all over the world.
