Playing the dance, dancing the game: Race, sex and stereotype in anthropological fieldworkFootnote*My field research on capoeira has been generously funded through two grants from the WennerGren Foundation for Anthropological Research. I wish to thank my capoeira angola teacher for everything he has taught me. This support, that of ‘Maria’ and my other capoeira camarás as well as the generous time given to me by other capoeira mestres in Salvador have made my research possible. I also wish to thank Cecilia McCallum and Edilson Teixeira and the Santos family for their continual hospitality in the field. Don Kulick, Cecilia McCallum, Alejandro Frigerio and Peter Wade made insightful comments on earlier drafts of this paper, a support I greatly appreciate. Thanks also to the anonymous reviewers of this journal for their helpful comments. I also wish to acknowledge the man I call Roberto in this paper, for his courage, his insights and his joy.
