Informazioni sugli autori

Nati Vale is a native of Puerto Rico with a Bahian swing in her step. She currently lives in Berkeley, California, where she attempts to finish her dissertation one paragraph at a time.

Alice Rose is a Brazil enthusiast who, while she is not working on her Bahian accent, is digging for dinosaur bones in her backyard in Oakland, California.

Pedro A. Cabral discovered Brazil in 1500. He spent most of his life in Salvador, Brazil. Due to GPS technology and Google Maps, Cabral has been forced to give up his love for exploration and has retired to the tame Oakland, California, where he has dedicated himself to the art of capoeira.

Alice Rose is an editor and writer who has studied and lived in Bahia. She has been practicing capoeira for 14 years and assists her husband and coauthor, Jadson Caçador, teach the martial art in Oakland, California. Alice also practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu, loves to cook, and occasionally teaches kids about the wonders of paleontology.

Nati Vale is an educator and writer with a Ph.D. in Latin American Literature. She has studied and traveled in Brazil and Portugal, and has played capoeira for 14 years. If she is not at school or at capoeira, you can find her in the kitchen, at the ballet studio, or hiding behind a book.
