Who decides which stories about a city are remembered? How do
interpretations of the past shape a city's present and future? In
this book, Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos discusses notions of
power and national identity by examining how nation-states
negotiate the preservation of urban spaces and how a city
interprets, resists, and consents to the functions and meanings
that it has inherited and that it reinvents for itself. Looking at
the Brazilian city of Ouro Preto, de Souza Santos applies
fine-grained ethnography and historical analysis to discuss the
limits of Brazil's imagery of social harmony and participatory
democracy amid continuous inequality.
