In the 1980s, Brazil emerged from two decades of military
dictatorship and embarked on an experiment in full democracy for
the first time in the nation's history Since then, Brazilians have
sought to live up to the ideals of this experiment while
negotiating dramatic economic and cultural transformations. 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.
