This volume is a critical inquiry into the social project and
socioeconomic realities of emerging Brazil, a country that faces
profound changes. A team of acknowledged specialists on Brazil's
complex configuration addresses state policies, social dynamics and
economic constraints and opportunities for emancipation. Chapters
adopt long-run perspectives on the development of the Brazilian
welfare state, limits and opportunities for emancipation in the
labor market, the scope and depth of social policies such as "Bolsa
Familia" and Rio's Peacemaking Police Units (UPP), social movements
- in particular, the Movement of the Landless (MST) - cultural
policies at the federal level, the role of media in the country's
democratization project, and how two important commodities (sugar
and oil) shape the identities of blacks and whites in Bahia. This
book is essential reading for all those interested in understanding
what kind of Brazil has acquired a prominent global position and
what hurdles it faces to consolidate its position as a global
player.
