Favela

A favela (Portuguese pronunciation: [fɐˈvɛlɐ]), Brazilian Portuguese for slum, is a low-income historically informal urban
area in Brazil. The first favela, now known as Providência in the center of Rio de Janeiro, appeared in the late 19th century,
built by soldiers who had nowhere to live following the Canudos War. Some of the first settlements were called bairros
africanos (African neighborhoods). Over the years, many former enslaved Africans moved in. Even before the first favela
came into being, poor citizens were pushed away from the city and forced to live in the far suburbs. However, most modern
favelas appeared in the 1970s due to rural exodus, when many people left rural areas of Brazil and moved to cities. Unable
to find places to live, many people found themselves in favelas.[1] Census data released in December 2011 by the Brazilian
Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) showed that in 2010, about 6 percent of the Brazilian population lived in
slums.[2] In areas of irregular occupation definable by lack of public services or urbanization, they referred to by the IBGE
as "subnormal agglomerations".

Owing to the general stigma surrounding favelas and their inhabitants, a common politically correct euphemism for a favela is
comunidade ("community"), short for comunidade carente ([komuniˈdadʒi kɐˈɾẽtʃi], [kumuniˈdadʒi]), or "community lacking in wealth and resources". Inhabitants from a favela are known as
moradores de comunidade or simply moradores ([moɾɐˈdoɾis], "dwellers" (singular morador, [moɾɐˈdo(ʁ)]), as the term favelado ([faveˈladu]) is generally considered controversial and often
pejorative, particularly when used by middle and upper class white and Asian Brazilians, similar to the usage of "ghetto" and "ratchet" in an American English context. The term favelado can,
nevertheless, be reclaimed by an inhabitant of a favela, or someone who grew up in one, particularly if they did not experience social uplifting and/or continued to suffer discrimination in the form of
anti-black racism.

Inhabitants of empoverished suburbs encircling the urban sprawl of major Brazilian cities (periferia) that do not qualify as favelas are grouped together with favela dwellers from their surrounding
neighborhoods as periféricos ([peɾiˈfɛɾikus], [pɛɾiˈfɛɾikus]) or suburbanos ([subuʁˈbɐnus]). As a result, people from the Baixada Fluminense and most of the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro are
considered periféricos (regardless of their personal living standards), while people from the western and southern parts of the neighboring city of Niterói are not (regardless of their personal living
standards, and whether or not they live in local favelas). A non-favelado periférico typically deals with less stigma in Brazilian society than their favelado counterparts, but usually suffers more stigma
and deals with more lacking infrastructure and attention from local governments, marketing and services than someone who lives in wealthier neighborhoods, like the ones found primarily in the South
Zone of Rio.

The opposite of a favela in an urban context is asfalto (literally "asphalt", [asˈfawtu]), a term used for neighborhoods and their dwellers alike, with moradores do asfalto being the usual form for people
other than favelados themselves, who might instead use phrases likefilhos do asfalto ("children of the asphalt"), or justo asfalto (with the article indicating that they are referencing a group of people), in
a more critical tone, particularly when contrasting the lives of non-favelados with their own perceived dehumanization and lack of civil rights within Brazil (e.g. when discussing police violence
incidents).

History
The term favela dates back to the late 1800s.[3] At the time, soldiers were brought from the conflict against the settlers of Canudos, in the Eastern province of Bahia, to Rio de Janeiro and left with no
place to live.[4] When they served the army in Bahia, those soldiers had been familiar with Canudos' Favela Hill – a name referring to favela, a skin-irritating tree in the spurge family (Cnidoscolus
quercifolius) indigenous to Bahia.[5] When they settled on the Providência [Providence] hill in Rio de Janeiro, they nicknamed the place
Favela hill from their common reference, thereby calling a slum a
favela for the first time.[6]

The favelas were formed prior to the dense occupation of cities and the domination of real estate interests.[7] Following the end of slavery and increased urbanization into Latin America cities, a lot of
people from the Brazilian countryside moved to Rio. These new migrants sought work in the city but with little to no money, they could not afford urban housing.[8] In the 1920s the favelas grew to such
an extent that they were perceived as a problem for the whole society. At the same time the term favela underwent a first institutionalization by becoming a local category for the settlements of the urban
poor on hills. However, it was not until 1937 that the favela actually became central to public attention, when the Building Code (Código de Obras) first recognized their very existence in an official
document and thus marked the beginning of explicit favela policies.[9] The housing crisis of the 1940s forced the urban poor to erect hundreds of shantytowns in the suburbs, when favelas replaced
tenements as the main type of residence for destitute Cariocas (residents of Rio). The explosive era of favela growth dates from the 1940s, when Getúlio Vargas's industrialization drive pulled hundreds
.[10]
of thousands of migrants into the former Federal District, to the 1970s, when shantytowns expanded beyond urban Rio and into the metropolitan periphery

Urbanization in the 1950s provoked mass migration from the countryside to the cities throughout Brazil by those hoping to take advantage of the economic opportunities urban life provided. Those who
moved to Rio de Janeiro, however, chose an inopportune time. The change of Brazil's capital from Rio to Brasília in 1960 marked a slow but steady decline for the former, as industry and employment
options began to dry up. Unable to find work, and therefore unable to afford housing within the city limits, these new migrants remained in the favelas. Despite their proximity to urban Rio de Janeiro,
the city did not extend sanitation, electricity, or other services to the favelas. They soon became associated with extreme poverty and were considered a headache to many citizens and politicians within
 Rio. In the 1970s, Brazil's military dictatorship pioneered a favela eradication policy
, which forced the displacement of hundreds of thousands of
residents. During Carlos Lacerda's administration, many were moved to public housing projects such as Cidade de Deus ("City of God"), later
popularized in a wildly popular feature film of the same name. Poor public planning and insufficient investment by the government led to the
disintegration of these projects into new favelas. By the 1980s, worries about eviction and eradication were beginning to give way to violence
associated with the burgeoning drug trade. Changing routes of production and consumption meant that Rio de Janeiro found itself as a transit
point for cocaine destined for Europe. Although drugs brought in money, they also accompanied the rise of the small arms trade and of gangs
competing for dominance.

Public policy towards favelas

In the late 19th century, the state gave regulatory impetus for the creation of Rio de Janeiro's first squatter settlement. The soldiers from the War of Canudos (1896-7) were granted permission by
Ministry of War to settle on the Providência hill, located between the seaside and centre of the city (Pino 1997). The arrival of former black slaves expanded this settlement and the hill became known as
Morro de Providência (Pino 1997). The first wave of formal government intervention was in direct response to the overcrowding and outbreak of disease in Providência and the surrounding slums that
had begun to appear through internal migration (Oliveira 1996). The simultaneous immigration of White Europeans to the city in this period generated strong demand for housing near the water and the
government responded by "razing" the slums and relocating the slum dwellers to Rio's north and south zones (Oliveira 1996, pp. 74). This was the beginning of almost a century of aggressive eradication
policies that characterised state-sanctioned interventions.

Favelas in the early twentieth century were considered breeding grounds for anti-social behavior and spreading of disease. The issue of honor pertaining to legal issues was not even considered for
residents of the favelas. However after a series of comments and events in the neighborhood of Morro da Cyprianna, during which a local woman Elvira Rodrigues Marques was slandered, the Marques
.[17]
family took it to court. This is a significant change in what the public considered the norm for favela residents, who the upper classes considered devoid of honor all together

Following the initial forced relocation, favelas were left largely untouched by the government until the 1940s. During this period politicians, under the auspice of national industrialisation and poverty
alleviation, pushed for high density public housing as an alternative to the favelas (Skidmore 2010). The "Parque Proletário" program relocated favelados to nearby temporary housing while land was
cleared for the construction of permanent housing units (Skidmore 2010). In spite of the political assertions of Rio's Mayor Henrique Dodsworth, the new public housing estates were never built and the
once-temporary housing alternatives began to grow into new and larger favelas (Oliveira 1996). Skidmore (2010) argues that "Parque Proletário" was the basis for the intensified eradication policy of the
1960s and 1970s.

The mass urban migration to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s resulted in the proliferation of favelas across the urban terrain. In order to deal with the "favela problem" (Portes 1979, pp. 5), the state
implemented a full-scale favela removal program in the 1960s and 1970s that resettled favelados to the periphery of the city (Oliveira 1996). According to Anthony (2013), some of the most brutal favela
removals in Rio de Janeiro's history occurred during this period. The military regime of the time provided limited resources to support the transition and favelados struggled to adapt to their new
environments that were effectively ostracised communities of poorly built housing, inadequate infrastructure and lacking in public transport connections (Portes 1979). Perlman (2006) points to the
state's failure in appropriately managing the favelas as the main reason for the rampant violence, drugs and gang problems that ensued in the communities in the following years. The creation of BOPE
(Special Police Operations Battalion) in 1978 was the government's response to this violence (Pino 1997). BOPE, in their all black military ensemble and weaponry, was Rio's attempt to confront
violence with an equally opposing entity.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, public policy shifted from eradication to preservation and upgrading of the favelas. The "Favela-Bairro" program, launched in 1993, sought to improve living standards for
the favelados (Pamuk and Cavallieri 1998). The program provided basic sanitation services and social services, connected favelas to the formal urban community through a series of street connections
and public spaces and legalised land tenure (Pamuk and Cavallieri 1998). Aggressive intervention however did not entirely disappear from the public agenda. Stray-bullet killings, drug gangs and general
violence were escalating in the favelas and from 1995 to mid-1995, the state approved a joint army-police intervention called "Operação Rio" (Human Rights Watch 1996). "Operação Rio" was the
state's attempt to regain control of the favelas from the drug factions that were consolidating the social and political vacuum left by previously unsuccessful state policies and interventions (Perlman
2006).

Pacifying police units

Beginning in 2008, Pacifying Police Units (Portuguese: Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora, also translated as Police Pacification Unit), abbreviated UPP, began to be implemented within various favelas
in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The UPP is a law enforcement and social services program aimed at reclaiming territories controlled by drug traffickers. The program was spearheaded by State Public
Security Secretary José Mariano Beltramewith the backing of Rio GovernorSérgio Cabral.
Rio de Janeiro's state governor, Sérgio Cabral, traveled to Colombia in 2007 in order to observe public security improvements enacted in the
country under Colombian President Álvaro Uribe since 2000. Following his return, he secured US$1.7 billion for the express purpose of security
improvement in Rio, particularly in the favelas. In 2008, the state government unveiled a new police force whose rough translation is Pacifying
Police Unit (UPP). Recruits receive special training as well as a US$300 monthly bonus. By October 2012, UPPs have been established in 28
favelas, with the stated goal of Rio's government to install 40 UPPs by 2014.

The establishment of a UPP within a favela is initially spearheaded by Rio de Janeiro's elite police battalion, BOPE, in order to arrest or drive out
gang leaders. After generally securing an area of heavy weapons and large drug caches, and establishing a presence over several weeks to several
months, the BOPE are then replaced by a new Pacifying Police Unit composed of hundreds of newly trained policemen, who work within a given
favela as a permanent presence aimed at community policing. Brazilian troops during an operation in

Suspicion toward the police force is widespread in the favelas, so working from within is a more effective and efficient means of enacting change.
Rio's Security Chief, José Mariano Beltrame, has stated that the main purpose of the UPPs is more toward stopping armed men from ruling the
streets than to put an end to drug trafficking. A 2010 report by the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT) did note the drop in the homicide rate within Rio de Janeiro's favelas. However

also pointed to the importance of initiatives that combine public security with intra-favela initiatives.

Community policing was at the cornerstone of public policy during the early 2000s and its combination with participatory planning characterised the most recent rounds of state policy. Seeking to build
on ‘Favela-Bairro’, the informally coined ‘Favela Chic’ program was aimed at bringing favelas into the formal social fabric of the city while simultaneously empowering favelados to act as key agents in
their communities (Navarro-Sertich 2011). However, media outlets have been critical of this change in policy and believe its only reflective of the government's concerns of the large media attention Rio
attracted during the 2014 FIFA World Cup (McLoughlin 2011) and the 2016 Olympic Games (Griffin 2016). Anthony (2013) was equally as critical of the policy and said that while rhetoric asserted the
government's best intention, the reality was more in line with aggressive policies of the past. He points to the announcement in 2010 from Rio's Mayor Eduardo Paes concerning the removal of two inner
-
city favelas, Morro de Prazeres and Laboriaux, and the forced relocation of its residents.

There have been significant shifts in favela policy in the last century. In 2013, there were an estimated 600 favelas in Rio de Janeiro, all of variable sizes (Anthony 2013). Due to the large scale and
complexities of these informal communities, academic interest into this field remains high.

Formation of favela society and culture

The people who live in favelas are known as moradores da favela ("inhabitants of favela"). Favelas are associated with poverty. Brazil's favelas are
thought by some as being the result of the unequal distribution of wealthin the country. Brazil is one of the most economically unequal countries in
the world with the top 10 percent of its population earning 50 percent of the national income and about 8.5 percent of all people living below the
poverty line.[19] As a result, residents of favelas are often discriminated against for living in these communities and often experience inequality and
exploitation.[20] This stigma that is associated with people living in favelas can lead to dif
ficulty finding jobs.[20]

The Brazilian government has made several attempts in the 20th century to improve the nation's problem of urban poverty. One way was by the
eradication of the favelas and favela dwellers that occurred during the 1970s while Brazil was under military governance. These favela eradication

them into the inner city with the newly urbanized upper-middle class. As these "upgraded favelas" became more stable, they began to attract
members of the lower-middle class pushing the former favela dwellers onto the streets or outside of the urban center and into the suburbs further
away from opportunity and economic advancement. For example: in Rio de Janeiro, the vast majority of the homeless population is black, and part
.[22]
of that can be attributed to favela gentrification and displacement of those in extreme poverty

Drugs in the favelas

The cocaine trade has affected Brazil and in turn its favelas, which tend to be ruled by drug lords. Regular shoot-outs between traffickers and police
and other criminals, as well as assorted illegal activities, lead to murder rates in excess of 40 per 100,000 inhabitants in the city of Rio and much
higher rates in some Rio favelas.[23] Traffickers ensure that individual residents can guarantee their own safety through their actions and political
connections to them. They do this by maintaining order in the favela and giving and receiving reciprocity and respect, thus creating an environment
in which critical segments of the local population feel safe despite continuing high levels of violence. Favela not far from Copacabana

Growth and removal of the favelas

Despite the attempts to cleanse Brazil's major cities likeRio de Janeiro and São Paulo of favelas, the poor population grew at a rapid pace as well as
the modern favelas that house them in the end of last century. This is a phenomenon called "favelização" ("favela growth" or "favelisation"). In
1969, there were approximately 300 favelas in Rio de Janeiro; today there are twice as many
.

In 1950, only 7 percent of Rio de Janeiro's population lived in favelas; in the present day this number has grown to 19 percent or about one in five
people living in a favela. According to national census data, from 1980 to 1990, the overall growth rate of Rio de Janeiro dropped by 8 percent, but Favela da Maré, Rio
the favela population increased by 41 percent. After 1990, the city's growth rate leveled off at 7 percent, but the favela population increased by 24
percent. However, a report released in 2010 by the United Nations shows that Brazil has reduced its slum population by 16%, now corresponding to
about 6% of the overall population of the nation.[25]

Religion
A number of religious traditions exist in the favelas. Historically, Catholicism was the most prominent religion of the area, but over the past few decades there has been a shift toward Evangelicalism,
including Pentecostalism.[16] While there has been an increase in the number of converts to Evangelicalism, there are also an increasing number of people who claim to be non-religious.
[20]

Music
 Popular types of music in favelas include funk, hip-hop, and Samba.[26] Recently, funk carioca, a type of music popularized in the favelas has also
become popular in other parts of the world.[27] This type of music often features samples from other songs. Popular funk artists include MC Naldo
and Buchecha[27] Bailes funk are forms of dance parties that play this type of funk music and were popularized in favelas.[20] Popular hip hop artist
MV Bill is from Cidade de Deus in Rio de Janeiro.[20]

Popularization of favela culture

Media representations of favelas also serve to spread knowledge of favelas, contributing to the growing interest in favelas as tourist locations.[26] In

[20]

Tourism
Since the mid-1990s, a new form of tourism has emer
ged in globalizing cities of several so-calleddeveloping countries or emerging nations. Visits to the most disadvantaged parts of the city are essential
features of this form of tourism. It is mainly composed of guided tours, marketed and operated by professional companies, through these disadvantaged areas. This new form of tourism has often been
[28]
referred to as slum tourism which can also be seen in areas of South Africa and India.

In Brazil, this new growing market of tourism has evolved in a few particular favelas mostly in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, with the largest and most visited favela being Rocinha. This new touristic

of the underprivileged population living in these favelas, while giving tourists access to a side of Rio that often lurks in the shadows. The tours are viewed as a spectacular alternative to mainstream Rio
de Janeiro attractions, such as Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. They offer a brief portrayal of Rio's hillside communities that are far more than the habitats often misrepresented by drug
lords and criminals.[29] For instance there are tours of the large favela of Rocinha. Directed by trained guides, tourists are driven up the favela in vans, and then explore the community's hillside by foot.
Guides walk their groups down main streets and point out local hot spots. Most tours stop by a community center or school, which are often funded in part by the tour's profits. Tourists are given the
opportunity to interact with local members of the community, leaders, and area officials, adding to their impressions of favela life. Depending on the tour, some companies will allow pictures to be taken

The Brazilian federal government views favela tourism with high regard. The administration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva initiated a program to further implement tourism into the structure of favela
economies. The Rio Top Tour Project, inaugurated in August 2010, promotes tourism throughout the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Beginning in Santa Marta, a favela of approximately 5,000 Cariocas,
federal aid was administered in order to invigorate the tourism industry. The federal government has dedicated 230 thousand Reais (USD 145 thousand) to the project efforts in Santa Marta. English
signs indicating the location of attractions are posted throughout the community, samba schools are open, and viewing stations have been constructed so tourists can take advantage of Rio de Janeiro's
vista. Federal and state officials are carrying out marketing strategies and constructing information booths for visitors. Residents have also been trained to serve as tour guides, following the lead of pre-
existing favela tour programs.[29] Recently, favelas have been featured in multiple forms of media including movies and video games. The media representation of favelas has increased peoples' interest
in favelas as tourist locations.[26]
