Living with Insecurity in a Brazilian Favela examines how inequality, racism, drug trafficking, police brutality, and gang activities affect the daily lives of the people of Caxambu. Some Brazilians see these communities, known as favelas, as centers of drug trafficking that exist beyond the control of the state and threaten the rest of the city. For other Brazilians, favelas are symbols of economic inequality and racial exclusion. Ben Penglase's ethnography goes beyond these perspectives to look at how the people of Caxambu themselves experience violence. Although the favela is often seen as a war zone, the residents are linked to each other through bonds of kinship and friendship. In addition, residents often take pride in homes and public spaces that they have built and used over generations. Penglase notes that despite poverty, their lives are not completely defined by illegal violence or deprivation. He argues that urban violence and a larger context of inequality create a social world that is deeply contradictory and ambivalent. The unpredictability and instability of daily experiences result in disagreements and tensions, but the residents also experience their neighborhood as a place of social intimacy. As a result, the social world of the neighborhood is both a place of danger and safety. 606 $aMarginality, Social$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aViolence$xSocial aspects$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aUrban poor$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aSlums$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aSquatter settlements$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aDrug traffic$xSocial aspects$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 606 $aPolice brutality$zBrazil$zRio de Janeiro 607 $aCaxambu (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)$xSocial conditions 607 $aRio de Janeiro (Brazil)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aMarginality, Social 615 0$aViolence$xSocial aspects 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aSlums 615 0$aSquatter settlements 615 0$aDrug traffic$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPolice brutality 676 $a307.3/364098153 700 $aPenglase$b Ben$01520090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787030703321 996 $aLiving with insecurity in a Brazilian favela$93758548 997 $aUNINA
