Vivafavela

de Mayra Jucá, Otávio Nazareth

"The first internet portal by and about the residents of the favela shantytowns of Rio de Janeiro, Viva Favela presents content produced by correspondents-- reporters and photographers-- living in low-income hillside communities and sprawling slums, assisted by professional journalists. This book presents a selection from the permanent collection of around 50,000 pictures taken by the photography crews of this portal from its launch in 2001 through to today"--Page following t.p. verso.
