Description

Resisting Olympic evictions explores how one favela mobilised urban space to contest the logic underpinning removals in the glare of the mega-event's spotlight. Based on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Brazil, it provides instructive lessons on building democratic and just cities across the Global South.
