2-4 May Book Launch and Workshops: “Laws of the Hillside: Minoritarian Liberalism in a Brazilian Favela”

We are thrilled to invite you to the launch of “Minoritarian Liberalism: A Travesti Life in a Brazilian Favela,” a book by Moisés Lino e Silva (Universidade Federal da Bahia). The book examines the lives of residents in a favela in Brazil and their encounters with the state and law, and how minoritarian liberalism plays a role in shaping their experiences. In addition to the book launch event, the author will also be leading two workshops (as detailed in the poster).

We are pleased to co-host these events alongside the St Andrews Centre for Minorities Research (CMR), Centre for Amerindian, Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CAS) and the St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies (STAIGS), among others.
