Beskrivning
This anthropological study of grassroots community leaders in Porto Alegre, Brazil’s leftist hotspot, focuses on gender, politics, and regionalism during the early 2000s, when the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores) was in power. The author explores the ways community leaders make sense of official notions of citizenship and how gender, politics, and regional identities shape these interpretations. Junge further examines the implications of leaders’ deep ambivalence toward normative participation discourses for how we theorize and study participatory democracy, citizenship, and political subjectivity in Brazil and beyond.

Junge offers a deep and insightful account of how ‘being an active citizen’ is influenced by one’s gender, racial, and class background. . . . He does so by taking us deep into some of the most known and propagated forums of citizen participation—the World Social Forum, the Participatory Budget, and electoral politics."" - Bernd Reiter, author of The Dialectics of Citizenship: Exploring Privilege, Exclusion, and Racialization
