Abstract
The chapter situates the housing movements in the context of social mobilization that began during the military dictatorship. An examination of this period aids understanding of the way in which rights claims are perceived and made in the country today. The peripheries of Sao Paulo were a breeding ground for the collective action that emerged, first, to meet basic needs and then to put pressure on the military dictatorship as these needs were perceived as rights—a position supported by the nascent Workers’ Party. Continuing deprivation in Sao Paulo explains the ongoing purchase of the idea of the right to the city. The chapter ends with a discussion of the 2013 protests as the latest manifestation of a demand for this right.
