Marcelo Diversi and Claudio Moreira

Left Coast Press, Walnut Creek, CA, 2009

Marcelo Diversi, an assistant professor of human development at WSU Vancouver and a native of Brazil, joins fellow Brazilian scholar Claudio Moreira in a dialogue about the contrasts in their biographies. One raised poor, the other privileged, the authors also reflect on finding acceptance in the U.S. academic world while they study poverty in Latin America and promote social justice. They won the National Communication Association Ethnography Division Book award in 2010.
