City Of Walls by Jorge Caldeira
Crime, Segregation, and Citizenship in São Paulo
An ethnographic study of São Paulo that shows how fear of crime, rising inequality, and privatized security have turned the city into a landscape of fortified buildings, gated communities, and restricted public spaces. The book analyzes how these physical barriers and security practices both reflect and reproduce social segregation, erode shared public life, and reshape ideas of citizenship and urban belonging.
