The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil: Peripheral Media offers a new understanding of the digital media produced from the favelas, urban occupations, and in the countryside of Brazil, focusing on the discourse of this broad periphery in the late 2010s. After a decade of political stabilization and economic growth, the contemporary periphery has the ability to employ digital media to politicize old demands for social justice and better public services, and to denaturalize inequality overall. The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil presents interviews conducted with producers acting in the cities’ outskirts, in favelas, and in the countryside, showing how a myriad of websites and social media pages can launch specific challenges against hegemonic mass media outlets, the state, and society. A vast body of research reveals producers’ strategies to garner publicity for marginalized neighborhoods and individuals, providing an essential background for scholars of Latin American studies, journalism, and communication.
Helton Levy is a journalist and research associate at City, University of London and University College London.
