Raising hell
Keywords:
Social criminalization, Black youth, Cultural peripheryAbstract
The deaths of nine young people at the Dz7 dance party highlight a persistent policy of criminalizing funk music, which is rooted in historical practices of social control of young, black, and poor populations in Brazil. Since slavery, through the Republic and authoritarian regimes, peripheral cultural expressions (such as capoeira, samba, and today funk) have been treated as a threat. The official and media narrative associates dances with crime, legitimizing restrictive laws, police interventions, and selective punishment. This process reflects structural racism and the denial of the right to leisure and culture in the peripheries, turning victims into culprits.
