MEMÓRIA NÃO SE Remove - Heritage as a Political Strategy Against Forced Eviction
Using ethnographic methods, this paper discusses how residents of informal settlements called favelas use creative means to avoid forced eviction in Rio de Janeiro.

Of the marginalized, the groups that have had the most success have been indigenous and Afro-Brazilian quilombolas-descendants of escaped slaves who f…
