Book review: The Anti-Black City: Police Terror and Black Urban Life in Brazil.

Alves, Jaime Amparo The Anti-Black City: Police Terror and Black Urban Life in Brazil, Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press, 2018; 334 pp.: ISBN 978-1-5179-0156-1, US$27 (pbk) I The Anti-Black City: Police Terror and Black Urban Life in Brazil i is a valuable resource to think critically about the struggle of marginalised people to subvert the Brazilian racial-colonial order. On the drug war front, the police have a free pass to kill in the favelas, and the police murder of black youth has rampantly increased since the community police were created. Jaime Amparo Alves argues that urban space in Brazil is racially produced, and that police terror represents the hands of the state which traces the boundaries of who belongs to the black necropolis.
