Juliana Barbassa moved a great deal throughout her life, but Rio was always home. After twenty-one years abroad, she returned to find the city that once ravaged by inflation, drug wars, corrupt leaders, and dying neighborhoods was now on the precipice of a major change. Rio has always aspired to the pantheon of global capitals, and under the spotlight of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games it seems that its moment has come. But in order to prepare itself for the world stage, Rio must vanquish the entrenched problems that Barbassa recalls from her childhood. Turning this beautiful but deeply flawed place into a predictable, pristine showcase of the best that Brazil has to offer in just a few years is a tall order--and with the whole world watching, the stakes couldn't be higher. With a cast of larger-than-life characters who are driving this fast-moving juggernaut or who risk getting caught in its gears, this kaleidoscopic portrait of Rio introduces the reader to the people who make up this city of extremes, revealing their aspirations and their grit, their violence, their hungers and their splendor, and shedding light on the future of this city they are building together. Dancing with the Devil in the City of God is an insider perspective into a city on the brink from a native daughter whose life, hopes, and fortunes are entwined with those of the city she portrays"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Is God Brazilian? -- Rio, Home -- The Rise of the Red Command -- Whacking the Weeds -- Fear and Heat -- In the Heart of Evil -- Not for Beginners -- It's Complicated, Querida -- Saving Themselves -- Beautiful and Broken -- The First Carioca -- Long Live Construction -- The Business of Sex -- Love is Essential -- Dignified Living Conditions -- We Built This City -- The World Belongs to the Daring -- Futebol Nation -- The Cup of Cups. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Rio de Janeiro. $z Rio de Janeiro. 650 0 $a Social change $z Rio de Janeiro. $z Rio de Janeiro. 650 0 $a Social problems $z Rio de Janeiro. $z Rio de Janeiro. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x Description and travel. 600 10 $a Barbassa, Juliana $x Travel $z Rio de Janeiro. $z Rio de Janeiro. 650 0 $a Economic development $z Rio de Janeiro. $z Rio de Janeiro. 651 0 $a Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) $x Economic conditions. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Social History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Latin America / South America. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / International / Economics. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 10 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221025012410.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728013120.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118015843.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081017.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062933.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021246.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20180623030945.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418110820.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20160624010232.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20150730013315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB85CD4A368011E5A69BCFBEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
