Buying Heroin Rio de Janeiro

Taking an ethnographic approach to understanding urban violence, Enrique Desmond Arias examines the ongoing problems of crime and police corruption that have led to widespread misery and human rights violations in many of Latin America's new democracies. Employing participant observation and interview research in three favelas shantytowns in ''Rio de Janeiro'' over a nine-year period, Arias closely considers the social interactions and criminal networks that are at the heart of the challenges to democratic governance in urban Brazil. Much of the violence is the result of highly organized, politically connected drug dealers feeding off of the global cocaine market. Rising crime prompts repressive police tactics, and corruption runs deep in state structures. The rich move to walled communities, and the poor are caught between the criminals and often corrupt officials. Arias argues that public policy change is not enough to stop the vicious cycle of crime and corruption. The challenge, he suggests, is to build new social networks committed to controlling violence locally. Arias also offers comparative insights that apply this analysis to other cities in Brazil and throughout Latin America. Report an issue with this product. Previous slide of product details.

From the Inside Flap Based on ethnographic work in three favelas shantytowns over the past ten years, this analysis considers the harmful effects of illegal drug trafficking and associated violence on crime control, governance, and, ultimately, democratization in Brazil. Much of the violence is the result of highly organized, politically connected drug dealers, feeding off of the global cocaine market. Rising crime prompts repressive police tactics, corruption runs deep in state structures, the rich move to walled communities and the poor are caught between criminals and corrupt officials. Arias argues that institutional public policy is not enough to change the circumstances? He suggests this method could apply to cities elsewhere in Brazil and throughout the rest of Latin America.

Buying Heroin Rio de Janeiro

Rodrigo works for Red Command near the neighborhood of Tijuca. What do you sell and where? But the weed we have in Brazil is crap. Most of it comes from Paraguay. For friends I have one price, for unknown customers another. How long have you been in the game and how did you get into it? Selling drugs in the morro is like a culture. My granddad sold drugs in the morro , my uncle, my mother, all my family. My mama shot three people and went to jail. But until I was 22, I never touched anything. Why do you think you pay me to take these flights? I love living here. You just have to know not to make shit—if you break the rules, you get punished. Sometimes a shot through the hand or the foot. My friend Antonio works for the same gang at a different smoke shop, and we compete with each other. In the day I shine shoes for the rich gringos on Copacabana. I get all kinds of customers. Some of them really I find very, very revolting. They talk down to me, and talk like money is the most important thing in the world. I feel like kind of an anarchist, I wanna burn it all down! But others are my friends. Have you ever had any trouble with the cops? Ah, the cops! Once they stopped us and I had to show them I was gay and the customer was my boyfriend. Then after a few of those bookings most of the police are already friendly and even ask me to buy for them! But if you want to catch the real criminals you have to go to Ipanema or Leblon \[the rich beachside neighborhoods\]. How about other gangs? Sounds tough. How long do you see yourself doing this? Do you wanna retire or get another job? All I want is a stable job, then I can look after my wife and son. Once when I was at the station I saw a cop who knew me. What can you do? I like to draw people, landscapes. You can practice. By Dwayne Jenkins. By Sammi Caramela. By Nick Thompson. Share: X Facebook Share Copied to clipboard. Videos by VICE.
