“…Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with the "March to the West" (and also to the North, toward the Amazon region), historically excluded groups, such as indigenous people, people of African descent, and peasants were recurrently expelled from their traditional territories, sometimes remaining "islanded" in the midst of the growing urbanization. That is why from 1,900 to 2,000 the urban population became 4.3-fold larger and nowadays ∼85% live in urban areas (IBGE, 2017), mostly in the urban outskirts and slums with housing and sanitation deficits (Fernandes and Costa, 2012;IBGE, 2017).…”

This article discusses theoretical, methodological and political issues related to urban greening in the Global South, as well as emancipatory alternatives to envisioning more inclusive, democratic, sustainable and healthy cities. We sustain that the role of traditional and peasant peoples and communities – including indigenous, quilombolas and others - is strategic for thinking about alternatives and actions aimed at the paradigmatic transition that surpasses the vision of Eurocentric modernity. It generates artificial barriers that divide countryside and cities, society and nature, life and economy, as well as subjects and objects in producing and sharing knowledge. These peoples and communities designates a diversity of social situations that have as a common denominator conditions of existence considered to contrast with “modernity,” situated on the margins of the representations of “development” and “progress” of the hegemonic economic and political powers. Our arguments are empirically based on experiences developed in Brazil with interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogues carried out in recent years. The events called “Meetings of Knowledges” brought together academic groups and different social movements and community organizations involving social struggles and topics such as health, environmental conflicts and justice, food security and sovereignty, agroecology, among others. These meetings intend to enhance intercultural and interdisciplinary interactions between agents working together in different territories with concrete knowledges and experiences. The contents generated by the debates held at these events and their developments depict social experiences that reinforce the underlying hypothesis behind this article: the social struggles involving the interaction between traditional and agricultural populations with urban spaces in the Global South provide important evidence for research agendas about emerging emancipatory processes related to urban greening. In the first part of the text, we analyze the historical, social and epistemological meaning of indigenous, quilombola and peasant peoples in the Brazilian context, analyzing both recent contradictions and threats, as well as their role in the emergence of ongoing emancipatory agendas, including interaction with cities. Finally, we show examples related to social struggles, first of an indigenous ethnic group in the Amazon region, and then in two big Brazilian cities, involving social movements and community organizations that integrate actions for decent housing, sanitation, health care, and food along with the rescue of ancestral knowledge.

“…Severe flash floods that overflow these open sewers have historically isolated Manguinhos communities for weeks at a time [164]. The floods expose residents to a range of public health risks, including the transmission of leptospirosis, a blood disease transmitted through raw sewerage; increased incidents of dengue fever, which is 470% more prevalent in Manguinhos than in affluent neighborhoods [165]; and soil contamination, which has been found to have high concentrations of bioaccumulating carcinogenic pollutants (including lead and cadmium) in ranges above the tolerable parameters for residential development [166].…”

This paper outlines how Brazil's latest public security initiative-its highly controversial Police Pacification Campaign (UPP)-is an integral component of a neoliberal political framework that is enacting rapid urbanization projects in and around strategically located favelas (informal settlements or slums) of Rio de Janeiro. Specifically, it evaluates what kinds of economic development initiatives are moving forward, how they are facilitated by the UPP, how they connect to the city's mega-events, and who is profiting from them. The article also examines how the pacification has affected residents in three favelas over a seven-year period from the inauguration of the UPP in 2008 through to mid-2015.

“…Atualmente, Manguinhos é uma das áreas em que as lutas sociais por melhoria da qualidade habitacional, social, ambiental atravessam a vida de seus moradores. Associadas a isso, a insegurança e instabilidade advindas da existência do tráfico de influências e de traficantes de drogas e de milicianos, configura-o como um território vulnerável (Fernandes & Costa, 2013).…”

O presente trabalho apresenta aspectos de uma pesquisa em nível de doutorado, cujo tema foi o uso da biblioteca escolar numa escola localizada em um território vulnerabilizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo foi analisar as potencialidades e as mediações pedagógicas de atividades realizadas no espaço da biblioteca, articulando o contexto mais amplo da escola com as atividades em sala de aula em prol de uma educação e formação críticas. Foi um estudo qualitativo fundamentado na pesquisa participante, no qual, além da observação, para as considerações apresentadas nesse artigo, são apresentados os dados coletados no Grupo Focal. Os resultados, tomando como base a experiência e as discussões do Grupo Focal, indicaram que os sujeitos (professores e gestores) consideram importante a existência e o uso da biblioteca na educação básica, assim como consideraram que a escola deveria investir e procurar estratégias para incorporar a literatura e o uso da biblioteca na articulação dos conteúdos curriculares de algumas disciplinas e de estabelecer, em definitivo, um mediador no espaço para auxiliar os alunos e professores.
