The Invisibility of Race in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
This research article examines why the racialization of Brazilian jiu-jitsu has so often been invisible to non-Brazilians. It argues that Brazilian jiu-jitsu emerged in a highly racially stratified context and looks in particular at challenge matches that the Gracie family engaged in with fighters who practiced capoeira or judo. It argues that through these competitions, not only was Brazilian jiu-jitsu located within Brazil’s racial hierarchy, b…

O artigo analisa como o Comando Vermelh…
Barbarians on the beach

Newspaper and magazine articles on a 1992 beachside mugging incident and the Brazilian army's 1994 occupation of several of Rio's poor neighbourhoods are examined as …
