The fight for a better city is not over…not if grassroots mobilization has anything to say about it.
Please join us in congratulating Vitor Martins Dias, CASEL student and Ph.D. candidate in the IU Department of Sociology, and his co-authors from the city of Belém, Brazil—José Alexandre de Jesus Costa and Pedro Paulo Soares—for their carefully written and beautifully illustrated essay, "Regaining Paradise Lost: Global Investments, Mega-Projects, and Seeds of Local Resistance to Polluted Floods in Belém," about the history of floods in the Una River watershed in Belém and local resistance social movements.
