Jovens latino-americanos: Necropolíticas, culturas políticas e urbanidades

Abstract

A first warning must be made to readers of this book. Do not expect to find sweetened views or schematic approaches in this book. Rather, it is from a scenario of tensions and also multiple connections that our authors come to address the complex experience of young people in Latin America. Right from the start, the purpose of this breath-taking journey becomes clear. It is under a necropolitical regime that we find ourselves settled, and the extent of its harmful impacts is felt in a dramatic and highlighted way by countless young people. There are ghosts and corpses lurking around us, from Tijuana to Santiago de Chile, from Córdoba to Rio de Janeiro, from Buenos Aires to São Paulo, from Bogotá to Zona da Mata in Minas Gerais.
