<\/a>Anthony Leeds<\/a> archive at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz.\u00a0Anthony Leeds (1925 \u2013 1989) was a North American anthropologist best known for his work in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and on urban-rural relations in Brazil.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n The turbulent decade of the 1960s was marked by the Cold War and the “Good Neighbor policies”, designed to curb communism in developing countries. In Brazil, in its former capital, Rio de Janeiro, squatter settlements, or\u00a0favela<\/i>s, became the target of forced evictions in an attempt to relieve the city of the problem they were felt to represent.<\/p>\n In the article\u00a0Development and the social sciences: international agencies in Brazilian favelas in the 1960s<\/a>\u00a0Rachel de Almeida Viana,\u00a0<\/strong>Postdoctoral fellow at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz\/Fiocruz looks at the work of three international entities in Brazilian favelas in the 1960s: Brasil-Estados Unidos Movimento, Desenvolvimento e Organiza\u00e7\u00e3o de Comunidade; A\u00e7\u00e3o Comunit\u00e1ria do Brasil; and the United Nations.<\/p>\n These entities conveyed the ideal of developmentalism through technical cooperation with countries deemed underdeveloped, drawing on the pure and applied social sciences through community development. Documents from the Anthony Leeds archive at Casa de Oswaldo Cruz were used to analyze these entities\u2019 actions in the\u00a0favelas<\/i>\u00a0and their conceptions of development.<\/p>\n Read in HCS-Manguinhos:<\/p>\n Viana, R. de A..
