by Goldstein (Author)
Presents a critique of urban poverty and violence and challenges much of what we think we know about the "culture of poverty". In this title, the author provides a portrait of everyday life among the women of the favelas, or urban shantytowns in Rio de Janeiro, who cope with unbearable suffering, violence and social abandonment.
