Proximity and Distance in the Police State: A Short Response to Vargas’ “Taking Back the Land: Police Operations and Sports Megaevents in Rio de Janeiro”

Pages 312-315 | Published online: 27 Mar 2014
 

Abstract

This article compares the neoliberal state sponsored programs such as mass privatization of public goods and divestment in black and brown communities between the two Rio de Janeiro neighborhoods highlighted in Costa Vargas’ work and similar programs in Chicago, USA. The author offers some strategies that move beyond surviving these attacks and poses critical questions to Costa Vargas’ continued work in this area.
