Summary:

Based on 15 years of ethnographic fieldwork, this book understands the increasing violence seen in cities as a product of the emergence of transnational illegal markets since the 1970's, followed by the suppression of unskilled workers, in many places racialised young men from poor neighbourhoods. The book gives flesh and blood to these transformations through a careful study of São Paulo's case in Brazil.
