Published: July 17, 2023, 1:30 p.m.

Today we don our mining helmets, switch on our headlamps, and dig through the book Capoeira and Candombl\xe9: Conformity and Resistance through Afro-Brazilian Experience by Floyd Merrell. There's some great stuff in here about the similarities between the two Afro-Brazilian philosophies and their history, but it does take some backbreaking labor to get it out. You can read the book here, but we'd advise listening to this episode first.
