The Throes of Democracy: Brazil since 1989
Autor Bryan McCannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2008
In The Throes of Democracy Bryan McCann gives a panoramic view of this process, exploring the relationships between the rise of the political left, the escalation of urban violence, the agribusiness boom and the spread of pentecostal evangelization. Brazil remains a land marked by deep inequality, but in the last two decades the structure of that inequality has changed substantially. This is a country which remains an endlessly vital source of popular culture, now bubbling forth from different corners of the map.
In explaining these transformations, this book provides a fascinating introduction to one of the 21st century's most significant countries.
