Reed Larson Diversi, Marcelo 2015-09-28T15:39:54Z 2015-09-28T15:39:54Z 10000-01-01 1998 1998 This study draws on social theories such as critical theory and poststructuralism to deconstruct the current dominant narratives about street kids in large urban centers in Brazil, as well as to ground the method of this study: critical ethnography. The writing genre I chose to represent the street kids I met during my fieldwork, from 1994 to 1996, is short stories. My main goal in the 14 short stories I write here is to show these kids daily struggle for survival and dignity, to offer a glimpse into their lived experiences, to invite others to feel, if only for a brief moment, what it is to be a street child in Campinas, Brazil. I see this study as a small first step toward expanding the narratives and imaginations about street kids, toward inviting more people to relate to these kids in more touching, experiential ways.
