Collective action and radicalism in Brazil

"This collaborative work documents and analyses the evolution of social movements in Brazil following a period of structural adjustment and partial democratization. Focusing on the women's movement and the urban housing and agrarian movements, the book examines the general trend toward public protest and the shifts in the internal dynamics of group identity within Brazil. The authors propose that the practices of power in Brazil are influenced by the expressions of a civil society now reorganized into social movements - established within a 'cycle of protest' - and that the current social unrest and collective action are responses to the pitfalls of recent market reforms."—Jacket.
