Bolsonarismo

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Brancoli's thrillingly-original and uniquely-probing analysis will captivate students, scholars, journalists, and activists concerned by the rise of the far right in Latin America. Brancoli provides clarity for a world spellbound by the hypocrisy, sadism, mismanagement, and ecocidal racism of the Bolsonaro administration. Offering a set of global perspectives grounded in local histories and contexts, this book sets Brazil into a dynamic transnational frame, and brings Eurocentric and U.S.-based scholarship on the new right into conversation with Latin American political sociology and interdisciplinary political studies."
- Paul Amar (author of The Security Archipelago: Human-Security States, Sexuality Politics, and the End of Neolib) "Brancoli retraces how, in the first decades of the 21st century, Brazil became an ultra-right global hub. It examines how bolsonarismo, albeit not cohesive, constitutes a political constellation that will not vanish with the electoral defeat of its leader. Above all, it charters how the same far-right that repudiates 'globalism' is itself viscerally transnational." - Sonia Correa (co-editor of The Remaking of Social Contracts: Feminists in a Fierce New World) "For anyone willing to understand the rise of authoritarian nationalist leaders and far right ideologies across the world, Bolsonarismo is an enlightening descent into the improbable alliance of moral reaction, religious inspiration, neoliberal policies, populist strategies, and blatant racism. While deeply grounded in the Brazilian context, it also offers a broader reflection on lurking fascist trends in contemporary societies." - Didier Fassin (professor at the College de France and the Institute for Advanced Study)
