However, by 2019, those progressive gains were being dismantled as the far-right politician Jair Bolsonaro assumed the presidency of a bitterly divided country. Precarious Democracy delves into the transformations made and experienced by Brazilians far from the halls of power, using rich ethnographic portraits to demonstrate the necessity of ethnography for understanding social and political change. The book brings together powerful and intimate stories and portraits from Brazil's megacities to rural Amazonia, providing crucial insights on one of the most epochal periods of change in Brazilian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 472g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 178 x 252 x 16 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978825659                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lila Moritz Schwarcz,Benjamin Junge,Jessica Jerome,Isabela Kalil,Rosana Pinheiro-Machado,Lucia Mury Scalco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096941424890,"sku":"9781978825659","price":29.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7c626bbaa39fb674929807a4011b45cb.jpg?v=1634958013","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/precarious-democracy-ethnographies-of-hope-despair-and-resistance-in-brazil","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
