How Civil Society Organizations Foster Insurgent Citizenship: Lessons from the Brazilian Landless Movement. VOLUNTAS: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations, 27(1), 19–36. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11266-015-9549-3https://hdl.handle.net/1805/34866This paper describes how the Brazilian Landless Movement fostered an insurgent citizenship among the poor. We describe three core organizational practices of this movement that supported this insurgent citizenship. We find that these practices bear striking resemblance to the practices of other civil society organizations (CSOs), including social service organizations, when they support the empowerment of marginalized communities. The identification of common practices suggests that despite the differences among CSOs, these distinctions may be less stark than assumed and that there may be common causal pathways between CSOs and insurgent citizenship.en-USBrazilian Landless MovementSocial movementSocial serviceCitizenshipCivil societyArticle
