Based on exhaustive research conducted in nearly twenty archives in five countries, as well as on oral histories with surviving politicians from the period, this book tells the surprising story of how the alternatingly self-interested and heroic resistance of the political class contributed decisively to Brazil's democratization. As they gradually turned against military rule, politicians began to embrace a political role for the masses that most of them would never have accepted in 1964, thus setting the stage for the breathtaking expansion of democracy that Brazil enjoyed over the next three decades. 606 $aGovernment, Resistance to$zBrazil$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHISTORY / Latin America / South America$2bisacsh 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y1964-1985 615 0$aGovernment, Resistance to$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Latin America / South America. 676 $a981.06/3 700 $aPitts$b Bryan, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01350542 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a9910634401303321 996 $aUntil the Storm Passes$93088772 997 $aUNINA
