BRAZIL UNDER BOLSONARO

January 2023 Issue Editors: James N. Green and Tulio Ferreira This issue, edited by James N. Green and Tulio Ferreira, provides a critical examination of the history and recent rise of the Brazilian right, which achieved political power with the election of former military officer and far-right authoritarian Jair Bolsonaro as president in 2018, and analyzes the multi-faceted domestic and international impact of Bolsonaro’s four years in office. It ties Bolsonaro’s nationalist, Christian fundamentalist, antidemocratic, homophobic, misogynist, and racist program to its roots in older Brazilian fascism and military dictatorship and situates it as part of a transnational and global phenomenon. In this consideration of the reasons for and impact of Bolsonaro’s election and policies, it emphasizes the complexity of contemporary Brazilian reality.PODcast TABLE OF CONTENTS | PURCHASE THIS ISSUE
