| Resumo: | This book review examines Precarious Democracy: Ethnographies of Hope, Despair, and Resistance in Brazil (2021), edited by Benjamin Junge, Sean T. Mitchell, Alvaro Jarrín, and Lucia Cantero. The edited volume contains ethnographies addressing the Brazilian social landscape after Workers Party administrations. These chapters discuss the mechanisms of Bolsonarismo and the contradictory ways through which people show support to President Jair Bolsonaro. The book has sixteen chapters, authored by scholars hailing from different parts of the globe, who examine this topic in different parts of Brazil. As a rigorous yet accessible anthropological work, I argue that the book is an important addition to current discussions on Brazil’s sociopolitical and economic situation. |
