What explains the engagement of low-income young people in media
initiatives for political mobilization and social change in
everyday life? Favela Media Activism: Counterpublics for Human
Rights in Brazil responds to this question using an in-depth
ethnographic and interdisciplinary study about the trajectories in
media activism among young residents of low-income and
violence-ridden favelas in socially unequal Rio de Janeiro.
Leonardo Custodio provides multifaceted analyses of how favela
youth engage in individual and collective media activist
initiatives despite social class constraints and neoliberal
imperatives in their everyday life. This book details processes
experienced by young favela residents while becoming individuals
who act to challenge and change patterns of discrimination,
governmental neglect and drug-related violence. It is an important
resource for scholars interested in the nuances of political
engagement among marginalized youth in today's world of
hyper-connectivity, information abundance, and the persistence of
racial and social inequalities.
