Summary
Rio de Janeiro's favelas have become well-known sites of gang and police violence. Anjuli Fahlberg provides an original account of how conflict activism operates in Cidade de Deus, one of Rio's most dangerous and famous favelas. Based on fieldwork, virtual ethnography, and participatory action research, Fahlberg documents how activists strategically navigate local constraints and opportunities - including gendered governing dynamics and racialized practices of solidarity - to create space for non-violent governance amid armed repression.
