Abstract

The present paper aims at understanding the origins of Leão XIII Foundation, which was created in January 22, 1947. Leão XIII was the first public policy intervention in Brazil designed to act inside the slums in favor of their inhabitants. However, the precedents of its constitution are embodied in a complex ensemble of elements that arose from political mobilizations and multiple ideologies, where the slum ends up as a space disputed between leftist movements, mostly anchored to the Brazilian Communist Party, and forces that are opposite to this sociopolitical activism. This is exemplified by the articulation between state and the catholic church in order to promote territorial control of this “red danger” inside the slums of Rio de Janeiro.
