"Over the sea, I came. Over the sea, I will return": Transnational Scenes of Capoeira from Bahia, Brazil.
Capoeira Regional; Black Atlantic; Bahia; Transnationalization
In this dissertation I seek to demonstrate that Regional Capoeira is not only the driving force for a transnational expansion of Bahia Capoeira, but that it itself is the result of an internationalization of the practice since its origins. Such an argument aligns well with the native point of view and also with that of other scholars: capoeira, as part of the African diaspora, continues to exist and expand in a diasporic and transnational way.
