"Hard Times in the Marvelous City will be essential reading for anyone interested in Brazil's redemocratization, grassroots political mobilization and the challenges of governance, and the policing and violence that have intersected in the recent history of Rio de Janeiro's favelas and their city."—Jerry Dávila, author of Hotel Trópico: Brazil and the Challenge of African Decolonization, 1950–1980

"Bryan McCann has given us a compelling political history of Brazil in the 1970s and 1980s through the lens of Rio de Janeiro. His research is so meticulous and his writing so fluid that you feel as though you are living through the unfolding drama of politics, personalities, social forces, and serendipity. We see the way these forces re-create and perpetuate the deep divide between favelas and the rest of the city, despite people's movements and struggles for social justice."—Janice Perlman, author of Favela: Four Decades of Living on the Edge in Rio de Janeiro
