Abstract
SILVA, Ricardo Gilson da Costa. Pandemic and socio-space inequalities in Brazil. The case of Manaus, Amazon. Finisterra [online]. 2020, n.115, pp.69-74. Epub Dec 31, 2020. ISSN 0430-5027. https://doi.org/10.18055/finis20341.
In this reflection we adopted the propositions of Milton Santos’s social theory of space to relate the pandemic and globalization. The expansion of the new coronavirus in Brazil was enhanced by the country’s economic and social crisis. Due to the vulnerability in the labour market, income and unemployment, the pandemic found fertile ground to amplify the social crisis, the example of the city of Manaus (Amazon).
Keywords : Globalization; socio-spatial inequalities; event; Milton Santos; Amazon.
