Living with Insecurity in a Brazilian Favela: Urban Violence and Daily Life
R. Ben Penglase
Living with Insecurity in a Brazilian Favela examines how inequality, racism, drug trafficking, police brutality, and gang activities affect the daily lives of the people of Caxambu. Ben Penglase argues that urban violence and a larger context of inequality create a social world that is deeply contradictory and ambivalent.
