Through innovative fieldwork and ethnographic writing, Hecht lays
bare the received truths about the lives of Brazilian street
children. This book changes the terms of the debate, asking not why
there are so many homeless children in Brazil but why - given the
oppressive alternative of home life in the shantytowns - there are
in fact so few. Speaking in recorded sessions that participants
called "radio workshops," street children asked one another
questions that even the most experienced researchers would be
unlikely to pose. At the center of this study are children who
play, steal, sleep, dance, and die in the streets of a Brazilian
city. But all around them figure activists, politicians,
researchers, "home" children, and a global crisis of childhood.
