Description

Beef, Bible and Bullets Brazil in the Age of Bolsonaro by Richard Lapper In 2019, Jair Bolsonaro took office in Brazil, backed by powerful agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force. Bolsonaro's divisive presidential campaign was marked by fake news and misinformation shared with his tens of millions of social media followers. Despite promising simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards, and widespread corruption, Bolsonaro's presidency has been marked by controversy and human rights concerns. Bolsonaro's brand of right-wing populism is a unique and complex phenomenon, driven by a mix of economic, social, and cultural factors. This book provides a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's right-wing populism, written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field. Through a nuanced and insightful analysis, Beef, Bible and Bullets Brazil in the Age of Bolsonaro sheds light on the complexities of Brazil's current political landscape, and the challenges facing the country in the 21st century.
