Beef, Bible and bullets : Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro
Lapper, Richard2022
Books
'Beef, Bible and bullets' explains the rise to power of a maverick right-wing populist in Latin America's largest economy. It describes how the country's worst ever recession, growing criminal violence and an unparalleled corruption scandal paved the way for the unexpected victory of an extremist political outsider. It also analyses how backing from rapidly expanding evangelical churches, wealthy agribusiness groups and a powerful security establishment - the so-called bible, beef and bullets lobbies - has brought to office the Brazil's most conservative government since the 1970s.
