**Manifesting Democracy: A Must-Read for Anyone Who Wants To Understand Right-Wing Authoritarianism In Today's Brazil**
The book explores the protests that took place all over Brazil in 2012-13 when tens of thousands protested in order to regain access to basic urban infrastructure. The book highlights the significance of this event by bringing together a collection of essays and critiques on the role of these protests in Brazilian politics. Topics included are the nature of the protests themselves, how they influenced national election results for instance, and how did it influence an unexpected rise in Jair Boltunaro to power.
**Bringing Together People from Difference Backgrounds** The publication contains works from scholars and activists from different nationalities. The contributors include geographers, historians, philosophers, art historians, economists and civil society activists. This diversity adds to the study of social movement theory, urban history and contextualises the importance of such events in shaping Brazilian history.
***These Events Impacted Brazilian And Latinamerican Studies* Although manifestação started around the same period in Latin America. There is no definitive link between either, but they both share the intensity of the protest and the connection with wider current events linked to national elections. The protests in question have been connected to a systemic ailment within the Brazilian state that has brought about several collapses and tugs within the governing circle. These new currents created doubt about economic viability and the applicability of decentralised forms of governance such as the elected president expected to focus on solidarity and family planning. In other words.

MANIFESTING DEMOCRACY? ‘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 Manifesting Democracy? explores the series of public protests – manifestações – that took place in a number of Brazilian cities in June and July 2013, when thousands of people took to the streets to demand improvements in urban infrastructures. This book critically examines the role these protests played in politics, the political and their relationships to urban space and culture. It also analyses their connections to the emergence of a ‘New Right’ in Brazil. Bringing together scholars from a number of different fields (geography, history, philosophy, art, political economy) and activists, this book is the first interdisciplinary English language anthology to address Brazil’s 2013 protests and the broader political and cultural questions they raise. As such, it is a major contribution to Brazilian and Latin American Studies in Europe and the USA, as well as interdisciplinary studies of social movements, urban culture and politics.
