Bolsonarismo by João Cezar de Castro Rocha
A concise, historically grounded analysis that traces the emergence of a contemporary Brazilian populist-authoritarian movement to long-standing patterns of militarism, conservative nationalism, evangelical expansion, rural elites and cultural resentment; it shows how social media, disinformation and moral panic convert diffuse grievances into organized political energy. The book dissects the movement’s core attitudes—anti-leftism, anti-intellectualism, worship of a strongman, and disdain for liberal institutions—situating them within Brazil’s institutional weaknesses and broader global trends of right-wing populism, and warns of the consequent dangers to pluralistic democracy while urging sustained civic and institutional responses.
