Abstract

This dossier discusses issues connected to the social emancipation of groups that are spatially and socially outside hegemonic positions in contemporary Brazil. The works address the experiences of these groups whose historical experience, over the last few decades, has been largely invisible and/or not covered by the ideas and projects of so-called economic development. For this reason, the key elements of this ideology lost space in the political agenda of these groups, not only in Brazil, but in fact in several countries in the Global South.
