This article questions the meaning of the urban periphery for the children and grandchildren of insurgent citizens (Holston 2008). It illustrates how two types of youth—the type who experienced an important degree of social mobility, and the typical youth who are not integrated into the labor force—relate to their home community, an urban periferia in Northeast Brazil, and consequently do or do not participate in collective action. While insurgency defined the attitude of working-class Brazilians involved in the auto-construction of urban peripheries, the attitude that best describes how their children relate to their neighborhood is one of ambivalence. A mix of local level factors, such as the interruption of social memory about previous forms of collective mobilization once the liberation theology priests left, and national level factors, such as neoliberal policies and inadequate investment in poor urban communities, discontinued social mobilization, leaving the path open for the advancement of right-wing populism
