Brazil Unfiltered

March 14 marked the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Marielle Franco, a politician and activist in Rio de Janeiro. Her assassination shook the city -- and the country. On this episode of Brazil Unfiltered, a new podcast from the Watson Institute at Brown University, host James Green [https://watson.brown.edu/people/faculty-fellows/green] talked with Keisha-Khan Perry, an Associate Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University [https://vivo.brown.edu/display/kyperry] and author of 'Black Women against the Land Grab,' [https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/black-women-against-the-land-grab] about Franco’s life and work, and about how her assassination fits into a bigger story about Brazil’s shifting politics. They also looked at what Franco’s story can teach us about our political struggles back in the US.To listen to the Watson Institutes other podcasts click here: [https://soundcloud.com/watsoninstitute/sets]
