Historicizando a governança informal
Este artigo explora o significado histórico da informalidade urbana, entendida tanto como um modo de urbanização quanto como um elemento-chave em histórias mais amplas de desigualdade racial, governança e luta social. Analiza a relação entre a informalidade urbana e três importantes fios históricos: a evolução da governação racializada, a coexistência tensa do poder privado e do poder público, e o entrelaçamento contraditório da luta social e da …

From the Mocambo to the Favela
This article explores the history of censusing in the informal neighborhoods that have always been foundational to the Brazilian cityscape. Focusing on Rio de Janeiro and Recife, it argues that the censusing of favelas and mocambos was at once a technology of governance and a performance of North Atlantic modernity. The eventual emergence of the "statistical favela", which defined urban informality as a problem of collective social dysfunction, h…

The Red Menace Reconsidered
This article focuses on the relationship between the political Left and Brazil's urban poor by exploring the paradoxical role of Brazilian communists in the massive land struggles that mobilized Rio's favelas against forced eviction in the mid-twentieth century. Without the communists' organizational, legal, and political acumen, Rio's iconic favelas might never have become a permanent and precious urban foothold for the migrant poor. Without the…
Democracy, Thuggery and the Grassroots
Shantytowns have long been critical to urban popular politics. In Brazil, both phenomena gained strength from 20th century mass urbanization, and the two have been locked in a relationship of mutual dependency ever since. Yet – given high political stakes – it is notoriously difficult to glimpse the internal dynamics of these informal dependencies: to understand how politicians used shantytowns to achieve their own political goals, to comprehend …
Histories and Anthropologies of Citizenship by James Holston
A Poverty of Rights
A Poverty of Rights is an investigation of the knotty ties between citizenship and inequality during the years when the legal and institutional bases for modern Brazilian citizenship originated. Between 1930 and 1964, Brazilian law dramatically extended its range and power, and citizenship began to signify real political, economic, and civil rights for common people. And yet, even in Rio de Janeiro—Brazil's national capital until 1960—this proces…

Quase pretos de tão pobres? Race and Social Discrimination in Rio de Janeiro's Twentieth-Century Criminal Courts
Conceived as a contribution to debates about the role of state institutions in perpetuating racial inequality in modern Brazil, this article explores the relative importance of social and racial characteristics in determining defendants' treatment in Rio de Janeiro's criminal courts between 1930 and 1964. Focusing on rarely noted aspects of defendants' class and citizenship status, and emphasizing the importance of judicial procedure, it argues t…
