Description
Brazil on the Edge: A Complex Reality The murder of Marielle Franco in 2018 was a turning point in Brazil's tumultuous decade. President Bolsonaro's rise to power had sparked widespread outrage, and the country was grappling with a profound rot at its core. Damian Platt, who spent thirteen years living and working in Rio de Janeiro, offers a nuanced exploration of this complex scenario. In "Nothing By Accident", Platt delves beyond standard discourses on violent gangs from poor communities, instead revealing the intricate web of power that drives violence and corruption in Brazil's capital city. The book is divided into four parts, each shedding light on a different aspect of Rio's struggle with insecurity and chronic armed violence.
