Summary:

"Bolsonarismo: The Global Origins and Future of Brazil's Far Right documents the rise of the far-right alliance that emerged in Brazil in 2020 around the figure of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Unlike a cohesive organization with a broad variety of ideologies, Fernando Brancoli delves deeply into how Bolsonarismo has developed a specific political orientation through its partnerships with other groups, practices, and subjectivities within Brazil, as well as internationally. Through interviews, archival research, and newly available public documents, this book presents a comprehensive and compelling portrait of the new evangelical pastors, military personnel, and meritocratic ideologues that are the actors behind the far-right movement. Adding to our understanding of Bolsonarismo's grown in Brazilian politics and the contributing factors behind it, the book also sheds light on the impact of Bolsonarismo on world politics. As a prominent leader of the far-right movement, Jair Bolsonaro's political views and policies have reverberated beyond Brazil's borders, influencing the discourse on issues such as climate change, democracy, and human rights around the world"-- Provided by publisher.
