Ana Paula Cardozo de Souza

Ana Paula Cardozo de Souza is a PhD researcher in Latin American Studies at Leiden University. Her project focuses on Brazilian writer João do Rio (1881-1921), particularly his work as a cronista and his approach to the Rio de Janeiro underworld, bringing the marginalized portions of the population to the spotlight. Through these crônicas she aims to identify the place occupied by nightlife in João do Rio?s writing and the political implications of this representation in the turbulent context of the Brazilian First Republic.
