Spectacular Favela - Violence in Modern Brazil

Zusatztext "Through her formulation and appropriation of these terms, Larkins’s anthropological treatment of how violence structures relations of coercive power in alternative governance institutions and across territorial scales will be as highly legible to political scientists and sociologists well-schooled in Max Weber’s, Charles Tilly’s, and Benedict Anderson’s writings as to those familiar with anthropology’s more cited scholars, including Foucault and Agamben."
