This compelling work is the first major English-language biography of the metalworker who became president of Latin America's largest and most powerful country. In a clearly written, vividly detailed narrative, Richard Bourne describes Lula's childhood hardships in an impoverished family, his days as a revered trade unionist, and the strike movement that brought down Brazil's military dictatorship. The book chronicles Lula's campaigns for the presidency, his first term in office beginning in 2002, a major corruption scandal, and his reelection in 2006. Throughout, Lula of Brazil connects this charismatic leader's life to larger issues, such as the difficulty of maintaining a progressive policy in an era of globalization. Brazil's contemporary history, parallels with other developing countries and other world leaders, the conservatism of Brazilian society, and other themes provide a rich backdrop for assessing the struggles, achievements, and failures of this major figure on both the Brazilian and the world stage. 606 $aPresidents$zBrazil$vBiography 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y1985-2002 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y2003- 610 $a20th century. 610 $abiographical. 610 $abrazil. 610 $abrazilian history. 610 $abrazilian politics. 610 $abrazilian president. 610 $achildhood. 610 $acoming of age. 610 $acorruption. 610 $adictator. 610 $adictatorship. 610 $aelections. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $agrowing up. 610 $ahard times. 610 $alatin america. 610 $aleadership. 610 $alife story. 610 $ametalworker. 610 $amilitary. 610 $anarrative. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apresidency. 610 $apresident. 610 $aprogressive politics. 610 $aprogressive. 610 $ascandal. 610 $asouth america. 610 $atrue story. 610 $aworld leader. 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a981.06092 676 $aB 700 $aBourne$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01086927 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777950403321 996 $aLula of Brazil$93805873 997 $aUNINA
