Vanja Orico as Maria Clódia in The Bandit / O Cangaceiro (1953)

("Cangaceiro" was a pejorative expression used to refer to bands of poor peasants who inhabited the northeastern deserts of Brazil. They wore leather clothing and hats covered in symbols and metal ornaments. They carried carbines, revolvers, shotguns, and the long narrow knife known as the peixeira.

The 1920s and 1930s saw the height of cangaceiro activity, with the most prominent bands numbering up to as many as 100 bandits. The bandits often behaved well to the poorer sections of society. They performed acts of charity, bought goods for higher than usual prices from small shopkeepers and gave free parties / bailes. In contrast, the wealthy were robbed, targeted for extortion, and were often kidnapped and held for ransom.)

In 1968, an episode marked Vanja's life forever. At the key moment of the burial of student Edson Luís, killed by a military dictatorship, she stood in front of the army, raised a white handkerchief and shouted "Don't shoot, we are all Brazilians." Vanja was imprisoned for 3 days. She wasn't tortured, but she took "a few blows to the head."

"Brazilian hand games and American hand games!!!! Realizing that the art of hand games comes from Africa! I never thought about it before. It was just embedded in our childhood."

"The collective consciousness is real"

"My goodness. We played this in Nigeria too."

There's a documentary with @jamilawoods called "Black Girls Play" about the history of handclap games in the US and their importance in the Black community. And a book before it called The Games Black Girls Play, by Kyra D. Gaunt.

Fun fact: Brazil joined the Allied powers to liberate Italy from the Nazis late during WW2. Our troops were incredibly unprepared and frankly had no expectations of ever fighting in the war. But when they got there, the Brazilian troops were apparently so fucking chaotic and batshit crazy that it even frightened the Nazis. This is what a German captain had to say about it:

“The earliest wake up in our history”

[sccpmccabe]

"Women will not be allowed to practice sports that go against their nature, and for this purpose, the National Sports Council must issue the necessary instructions to the country's sporting entities”, said decree-law 3,199 of April 14, 1941. The article was created during the Vargas Era and was in force until 1983. During all this time, he banned, among the sports considered masculine, the practice of women's football in Brazil".

These were years of oppression. Years of struggle, losses, achievements, tears, sweat and lots and lots of blood. It has only been 41 years since the practice of football by women was allowed in Brazil and all the investment and visibility of this sport came in even more recent times, but still and as always, we overcame all adversities.

With just 41 years of freedom we managed to create a name and reputation for our women's team, we brought in important names that entered the history of the sport such as Sissi, Formiga and the most known of all, Marta. With all this history, we have two silver medals in Olympic games, third places in World Cups, several Copa América titles and football that enchants almost everyone.

Tonight, once again, we make history and exceed the world's expectations. After 16 years, the women's football team returns to compete in an Olympic final, beating France, the home team (and this being the first time in history that Brazil has won) and even more recently the current world champion, Spain, a team with countless strong and highly skilled players.

I can't express in words all the pride I feel for these women just for the fact that they exist, but even more so now that we're back to a time of glory even after a terrible group stage, but football is like that, at some point you're at the top of the world and in the next second you could be on your knees on the pitch, shedding tears over a lost game.

Minutes after the match, Jenni Hermoso gave the following statement to Spanish radio: "We conceded four goals from a team that, for me, doesn't play football. But in the end what matters are the goals. I believe these were our faults. We don't play our football. They study us, they know how to hurt us, for me it's not football. I don't like this type of football. Obviously, they gained minutes, they lost you time, and for them, that was worth it. They're in the final and we're going for bronze."

Even with everything we have achieved in such a short time and with immeasurable difficulty, they still try to diminish us, our achievements, our struggles. But the message at the end of all this is this: You may not like us, how we play, how we vibe, how we cheer on and off the field, our celebrations and seeing us at the top, but that doesn't matter because back in 1941, the majority didn't like it either, but still Here we are. In search of glory, once again.
