Vlog 6. Class & Race in capoeira

Capoeira movement and music generates and communicates knowledge. This vlog looks at the who, where and when of capoeira and notes strong references to Black Bahian working class men in the early to mid-twentieth century. Since the 1970s and 1980s, there has been more explicit mention of the African heritage of capoeira and this has interacted with a globalised discourse on race.
