at a glance |
favelas are one of the most sensitive and difficult topics of conversation - the subject is difficult to discuss for many locals, and probably is a topic that should not be approached casually by the occasional or uninformed visitor. When approaching the topic of a favela, probably one of the best assumptions a visitor can make is that he or she knows very little about favelas, no matter the amount of study and research done beforehand. Cariocas are profoundly connected to their city - to the mountains, the beaches, their culture, and to the ' asphalt ' as much as the 'hills.' |
