Capoeira has moved from the favellas or slums of Rio de Janeiro to the world stage in the last four decades securing its place as an international practice. Aniefre Essien places this martial art and dance form in its complete historical context providing technical instruction and a critical history to highlight the form's cultural milestones. In presenting the various lineages techniques and traditions Essien boldly addresses the realities of the capoeira community. Capoeira Beyond Brazil also provides a blueprint for educational capoeria through a program developed expressly for at risk youth in Oakland California. This program models the ways capoeira can foster self reliance and confidence in young individuals.
