The concept of Solidarity Economy in Brazil is diverse, but organizations and practitioners of SE generally use the term to describe various forms of non-capitalist, worker-driven and community-based ways of organizing economic activities according to the principles of autonomy, equality and sustainability. Specifically I employ collaborative research methods with community organizations of favela City of God to map and analyze the multi-faceted aspects of struggles against forced displacement and community organizing for the right to the favela within an anti-Black urban context. This work highlights the role of black women residents in City of God in planning and enacting community economies around a community childcare, a youth educational center and housing projects. I argue that such socio-spatial praxis represents contemporary forms of afro-feminist urban marronage in the face of anti-Black urban projects. I also examine the institutionalization of the Movement of Solidarity Economy shedding light on racialized power-knowledge and spatial inequalities hierarchies reproduced within the movement’s organizational practices. I draw on diverse economies, post-development, and urban geography studies, and I bring these bodies of literature into conversation with critical race debates in Brazil, Afro-pessimism debates, and decolonial pedagogical approaches.
