Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide some food for thought about police violence on the outskirts of São Paulo's East Zone. To this end, we are relying on an interdisciplinary approach to capture the historical constructions that forged the processes of favelization on this side of São Paulo. We show that the black experience and the popular movements of mothers, such as the "Mães da Leste" collective, are important tools in the fight against genocide. And we conclude that police violence in the region is a reflection of structural racism and the continuity of the colonial experience in the "public security" apparatus.
