Sinopse

Unraveling the behavior and trajectory of personalities such as Robin Hood and Lampião, Bandidos is considered the starting point for contemporary studies on the history of banditry.

Almost everywhere in the world, there are stories, oral and written narratives, and songs about them. Charming and frightening, bandits are the source of a powerful and contradictory imagery about power, violence, and popular justice. "Outlaws" represent an individual's rejection of social forces and authority, yet they often find recognition and protection in society.

Banditry is considered one of the most primitive forms of organized social protest. But "how does the social element of banditry, which defends the weak against the strong, the poor against the rich, those seeking justice against the rule of the unjust, fit into the political history of banditry, which turns bandits into powerful men drawn to the world of power?" This is the central question of the book, which seeks to define which political, economic, and social factors favor the existence of some "outlaws" becoming a movement and, in certain contexts, a veritable endemic. Bandits is the basic bibliography, the starting point for those interested in understanding this phenomenon from a more complex perspective than our common sense usually establishes.
