Chacina na Vila Cruzeiro: cidadania desigual, guerra às drogas e a democracia no Brasil

Translated title of the contribution: Massacre in Vila Cruzeiro - unequal citizenship, war on drugs and democracy in Brazil

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

In this article I discuss the police massacre of 22 people in the Vila Cruzeiro favela of Rio de Janeiro. I argue that the war on drugs and the Brazilian distinction between "labourer" and "criminal" serves to justify the control and extermination of black Brazilians by an unaccountable police force.
