Really Good Capoeira Book

[bushidomartialarts]

Currently reading Capoeira: A History of the Jogo de Angola from Luanda to Cyberspace.

Very well written, well researched and interesting. And as a side note the least biased history of slavery I've ever seen. The author is just telling a story, not grinding an axe as most of such histories do.

I am currently in volume 2 of this, I liked volume 1 better. Volume 2 gets into modern and current issues, many of which I am already well aware of, and I am just finding it less interesting. But volume 1 is very very good, in my opinion.

These books are great together and present a good overview of Capoeira and its history.
