Every year, countless young adults from affluent, Western nations
travel to Brazil to train in capoeira, the dance/martial art form
that is one of the most visible strands of the Afro-Brazilian
cultural tradition. In Search of Legitimacy explores why "first
world" men and women leave behind their jobs, families, and friends
to pursue a strenuous training regimen in a historically disparaged
and marginalized practice. Using the concept of apprenticeship
pilgrimage-studying with a local master at a historical point of
origin-the author examines how non-Brazilian capoeiristas learn
their art and claim legitimacy while navigating the complexities of
wealth disparity, racial discrimination, and cultural
appropriation.
