Paulo Lins's \Cidade de Deus\: Mapping Racial and Class Difference in the \Favela\
Lorenz argues on Paulo Lins's Cidade de Deus, a major landmark in recent Brazilian fiction, by mapping racial and class difference in the favela. The novel constructs an elaborate theoretical framework for understanding violence and racism in contemporary Rio de Janeiro. Lins's text and discourse challenge dominant conflations of urban violence, drug trafficking, and poverty, and Lins's frequent juxtaposition of Afro-Brazilian performance traditions, theoretical and street jargon, and literary, cinematic, and audiovisual references, engages the reader in a dialectical relationship. Through the diversity of voices, Lins paints a very complete picture of the dynamic between the favela and the larger metropolis. designed to captivate as many readers as possible. The novel ambushes readers when they have let their guard down, and indicates an elaborate literary strategy that recognizes that dialectical learning occurs on numerous levels.
