In 2010, the country?s outgoing president Lula left office with almost 90% approval. As the presidency passed to his Workers' Party successor, Dilma Rousseff, many across the world hailed Brazil as a model of progressive governance in the Global South. Yet, by 2019, those progressive gains were being dismantled as the far right-wing politician Jair Bolsonaro assumed the presidency of a bitterly divided country. Digging beneath this pendulum swing of policy and politics, and drawing on rich ethnographic portraits, Precarious Democracy shows how these transformations were made and experienced by Brazilians far from the halls of power. Bringing together powerful and intimate stories and portraits from Brazil's megacities to rural Amazonia, this volume demonstrates the necessity of ethnography for understanding social and political change, and provides crucial insights on one of the most epochal periods of change in Brazilian history. 606 $aEthnology$zBrazil 606 $aSocial movements$zBrazil$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aBrazil$xSocial conditions$y1985- 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y2003- 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory 676 $a306.0981 702 $aJunge$b Benjamin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554220803321 996 $aPrecarious Democracy$92818767 997 $aUNINA
