Manifesting Democracy?

Maite Conde is Professor of Brazilian Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, UK. She is the author of Foundational Films: Early Cinema and Modernity (2018) which received the Katherine Singer Kovacs award by the Modern Language Association in 2019, and Consuming Visions: Cinema, Writing and Modernity in Brazil (2012).

‘This book is a must-read for those seeking to understand right-wing authoritarianism in contemporary Brazil. It connects Brazil's street protests of 2013 - a moment celebrated by progressives at the time - to the eventual rise of Jair Bolsonaro. The essays presented here highlight key insights from top scholars in the field, and offer context for understanding politics and the future of Brazilian democracy.’Dr Jeff Garmany, University of Melbourne
