Underground sociabilities: identity, culture, and resistance in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas, by Sandra Jovchelovitch and Jacqueline Priego-Hernandez

Research output: Contribution to journalBook/Film/Article review

Abstract

Dedicated to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, to their people and their history, Underground Sociabilities showcases research into how Rio’s favelas are using cultural activities, identity, and the imagination in an attempt to regenerate public spheres and construct positive futures for young people at risk of drugs, violence and drug trafficking wars. Interspersed with quotes from the research interviews, beautiful photography, and pleasantly presented data and tables, this book has the potential to serve as real inspiration to those interested in social inclusion and the arts, writes Vinicius Mariano de Carvalho.
