PRAISE FOR PEACE AND VIOLENCE IN BRAZIL
“This a very welcome and long awaited book that helps us put in perspective the state of peace and violence in Brazil. It brings together innovative studies that touch on the complex dynamics of violence in Brazil, while also reminding us of the many expressions of peace agency taking place across different sectors of the Brazilian society and how they make a difference. This book is relevant to anyone engaged with Brazil and its social dynamics, as well as peace researchers interested in Southern perspectives of peace and violence.
—Roberta Holanda Maschietto, Post-Doctoral Researcher, Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, Portugal“This book seeks to bring an interesting discussion on security issues with a special debate on violence in Brazil. It is a new and significant contribution that offers to the audience an overview focused on violent actors, organized crime, and its dynamics regarding the Brazilian context. This volume explores the recent literature in peace studies combining a theoretical and empirical approach, analysing the political idiosyncrasies of a complex issue, the violence in Brazil.”
—Marcial A. G. Suarez, Professor of Political Science at Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil
