Using the concept of apprenticeship pilgrimage--studying with a local master at a historical point of origin--the author examines how non-Brazilian capoeiristas learn their art and claim legitimacy while navigating the complexities of wealth disparity, racial discrimination, and cultural appropriation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLauren Miller Griffith\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Hanover College.
