"Democratic Brazil Revisited is that rare accomplishment, a sequel
that improves upon the previous edition. Offering a treasure of new
research, the contributors-leading experts of and from
Brazil-critically examine the Lula government and the Workers'
Party in power. Collectively, their essays illuminate the central
paradoxes of contemporary Brazilian democracy: as democratic
institutions grow stronger, voters more sophisticated, and economic
performance and social policy outputs improve, civil society
becomes more disillusioned and severe social, racial, and judicial
inequalities persist. This book is an essential reference for every
student of contemporary Brazilian politics."
--Frances Hagopian, University of Notre Dame
"No matter what your field, Democratic Brazil Revisited is
essential reading for understanding current trends in Brazil.
Combining scholarly excellence with clear writing, Kingstone and
Power have once again assembled some of the best research for
portraying how one of the world's largest, most vibrant, yet most
paradoxical democracies functions."
--Kenneth P. Serbin, University of San Diego
