O submundo da favela

Abstract

Favelas constitute almost incalculable dimensions. Over the years, however, favelas have been defined and analyzed as if they formed a homogeneous group. The study of this perception is due to the need to talk about social abandonment in favelas, which consequently resulted in violence, in addition to understanding from a legal perspective, which implies a precarious condition of life in communities, caused by state neglect. The present study aims, in this context, to demonstrate how the birth of favelas and all their expansion occurred, the socio-spatial segregation after the abolition of slavery and the concentration of income, which caused the subnormal agglomerations residing in this underworld to occupy these areas. peripheral regions, the way in which favelas are officially named. This type of understanding may seem purely theoretical, but it is important to realize that public policies for favelas are not effective. The investigation, from a methodological point of view, is the compilation of the bibliographical review on favelas, and the analysis of the current Brazilian Magna Carta. From this study, he realized the connection between the end of the abolition of slavery and the historical evolution of favelization. In summary, the study concludes that outsiders may think that those in the favela remain there because they want to. This is not the real truth of the facts, there are people who seek at all costs to achieve better living conditions, but who face obstacles on a daily basis.
