Samba, culture and society: samba dancers and workers among the “social issue” and the cultural issue in Brazil

Abstract

Samba, culture and society, organized by Marcelo Braz, deals with themes still little explored by Brazilian Marxist criticism. In a creative approach, it condenses, from different perspectives, Marxist analyzes of the “social issue” and the “cultural issue” present in the emergence and creation process of Rio samba.
