It scrutinizes the theoretical, methodological, and political foundations of aporophobia, a concept developed in a distinct sociopolitical reality and reveals the risks of uncritically applying it to Brazil's context. It highlights how aporophobia fails to account for the central role of Brazil’s history of slavery in shaping its abysmal penal selectivity, which disproportionately targets marginalized groups perceived as social pariahs. By obscuring these structural roots, this movement inadvertently legitimizes Brazil’s unchecked punitive power, perpetuating the belief in criminal law as a solution to deeply embedded social issues\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003e—ultimately reinforcing what is identified as a criminology of blindness that ignores the roots of the abysmal selectivity of punitive power in Brazil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eRooted in critical criminology, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-TRAD;\"\u003ethe book highlights the limitations of aporophobia as a critical-criminological tool and proposes an alternative framework grounded in intersectionality and Southern epistemologies.
