An inspiring mission to rescue young people from drugs and violence with music At a time when interest in Brazilian culture has reached an all-time high; and the stories of one persons ability to improve the lives of others has captured so many hearts; this unique book takes readers to the frontlines of a battle raging over control of the nations poorest areas. Culture Is Our Weapon tells the story of Grupo Cultural AfroReggae; a Rio-based organization employing music and an appreciation for black culture to inspire residents of the favelas; or shantytowns; to resist the drugs that are ruining their neighborhoods. This is an inspiring look at an artistic explosion and the best and worst of Brazilian society.
