The Brazilian Constitution provides a remarkable set of social rights, including the right to housing. Despite this fact, struggles for decent living conditions have become key issues in the daily urban lives of many people in Brazil. Contesting the differentiated access to housing, social movements occupy empty buildings in the cities to challenge historically-rooted and excluding urban politics. Exploring the occupants' agency, Bea Wittger draws attention to the important role of female actors within the buildings. Through oral histories of participants of two squats in Rio de Janeiro, the book delivers a deep insight "from below" into their own perspectives on citizenship and gender.

A new model of social and political movements is presented here that captures a heretofore unobservable phenomenon: that of binding, or temporary, cooperative relationships between individuals in a community that form groups; between these temporary groups and influential institutions outside of the community; and de facto, asynchronous cooperation between the institutions on behalf of the community. The presence of these Binding Action Networks is empirically tested, as well as the results for communities where the Binding Action Networks are relatively stronger or weaker. In the final analysis, this dissertation develops a new view of social movements among the worst off in society, and consequently captures an element of democracy and democratization that has been overlooked until now. In the final analysis, social capital, both within the community and bridging outside of the community plays an instrumental role in the political voice and the material well being of those pushed to the political and economic margins of society.
