Capoeira e escravidão: movimento de resistência versus submissão

Abstract

The present study, based in the methodology of historical sociology, makes a comparative analysis between GENOVESE (1988) and REGO (1 969). The first one refers to the black slavery in the United States of America, the second one, he refers to the play of flight danced denominated Capoeira, which had its origins in a Colony Brazil. Starting from that analysis I notice that there is, so much in an as in other, in what it says respect to the black, similar life situations that unchain fellow creatures flight forms and submission. In the case of Brazil, there is the origin of Capoeira's play, a corporal movement of black resistance.
