Description

Review "This collection offers rich, theoretically evocative ethnographies on a range of sites seldom brought together in a single volume, from family frictions that expose the polarization of the past decade to guns and the performance of masculinity to Black queer resilience amid Brazil's rightward shift. The assembled cases foreground feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial epistemologies and shed unique light on Brazil's 'unraveling, ' bringing into view the precarity often underlying formal democratic arrangements, even, or perhaps especially, those governed by the Left."--Sonia E. Alvarez "co-editor of Beyond Civil Society: Activism, Participation, and Protest in Latin America""Precarious Democracy presents a kaleidoscopic view of contemporary Brazil through a rich collection of ethnographies and a range of thoughtful analyses and insights about ordinary people throughout the country as they respond in multiple ways to the rise and political consolidation of the far-right in recent years. It is essential reading for understanding what is going on in Brazil today."--James N.
