N2  - Offers a long-term perspective on families living in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro as the author re-interviews people she first met in 1969, discovering that while Brazil's social conditions in general have changed, favela residents feel more marginalized than ever, with the greatest changes being the explosion of the drug and arms trade and the high incidence of fatal violence
