"Marielle Presente!" 1 month after the assassination of Marielle Franco-Left POCket Project Podcast

In Episode 14, I discuss black Brazilian activist and socialist city councilmember Marielle Franco a month after her assassination, and contextual her murder among other recent developments in Brazil’s contemporary political climate. I also read the letter I co-authored with several scholars who work on Brazil that was published in The Black Scholar and Folha de São Paulo.
