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.
