Focusing on the 2013 protests in São Paulo, the book explores the historical context of social movements in urban Brazil, particularly among the urban poor. Through ethnographic fieldwork with housing movement federations, it highlights the importance of the "right to the city" concept. The work illustrates how these movements creatively interpret national legislation to advocate for housing and urban citizenship, emphasizing their ongoing struggle for social justice in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
