Hi! I'm Melinda Gurr, a sociocultural anthropologist from Utah. This blog traces some of my travels and experiences in Latin America, starting with my doctoral dissertation in Brazil among youth of the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra, MST, in Paraná, São Paulo, and Pernambuco, Brazil (2013-2014).

COPAVI Project: Dandara
This is Dandara, she is 17 and has grown up in the MST, was born in a land occupation. She lives with her mom in the community, and is finishing high school this year. She plans to go to college and study languages. She doesn't know exactly what she dreams of for her future, but she does want to leave her mark on the world somehow.

At COPAVI, when it rains the electricity goes out. Thus, organization (i.e., candles) are necessary.
Simulacra: taking a photo of taking a photo.
I can't support anymore cats!
