Goldstein presents a hard-hitting critique of urban poverty and violence and challenges much of what we think we know about the "culture of poverty" in this compelling read. Drawing on more than a decade of experience in Brazil, Goldstein provides an intimate portrait of everyday life among the women of the favelas, or urban shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro, who cope with unbearable suffering, violence and social abandonment. The book offers a clear-eyed view of socially conditioned misery while focusing on the creative responses-absurdist and black humor-that people generate amid daily conditions of humiliation, anger, and despair. Goldstein helps us to understand that such joking and laughter is part of an emotional aesthetic that defines the sense of frustration and anomie endemic to the political and economic desperation among residents of the shantytown.California Series in Public AnthropologyMarginality, SocialBrazilRio de JaneiroPoorBrazilRio de JaneiroPoorBrazilRio de JaneiroHumorSlumsBrazilRio de JaneiroViolenceBrazilRio de JaneiroSexBrazilRio de JaneiroRio de Janeiro (Brazil)Race relationsactivism.black humor.black humour.brazil.brazilian history.brazilian society.civic.class.cultural anthropology.culture of poverty.economic desperation.engaging.ethnicity.ethnography.historical.history of brazil.history.joking.latin america.laughter.minority studies.page turner.political.politics.postcolonial.poverty.race.realistic.retrospective.rio de janeiro.social abandonment.social issues.social justice.social science.sociology.south america.urban poverty.urban shantytowns.urbanism.violence.Marginality, SocialPoorPoorSlumsViolenceSex305.5/68/098153Goldstein Donna M1689947MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822027503321Laughter out of place4065353UNINA
