Description
Summary:The Denial of Antiblackness incorporates Vargas’ knowledge and expertise developed over two decades of research on racial states and cooperation with Black community organisations in Brazil and the United States. Rather, the author illustrates these interrelated spaces that produce Black dispossession, hyper-surveillance and confinement as a transgenerational and cyclical process that moves forward and backward in time in ways that deeply enmesh Black people and geographies (pp. 72, 133). Chapter 5 focuses on the Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (Pacifying Police Units, UPPs) instituted via Rio de Janeiro's new security paradigm established to both control and appease, rather than repress, people in poor, historically Black areas of the city.
