(More customer reviews)Needed the book for grad school. It was in good shape and easy to navigate. Caldiera gives a good sense of what life is like in Urban Brazil by looking at the world within the favelas of Sao Paolo.

Teresa Caldeira's pioneering study of fear, crime, and segregation in São Paulo poses essential questions about citizenship and urban change in contemporary democratic societies. Focusing on São Paulo, and using comparative data on Los Angeles, she identifies new patterns of segregation developing in these cities and suggests that these patterns are appearing in many metropolises.
