Overview

Based on a wealth of information, the contributors provide a penetrating and comprehensive examination of the 1974-88 period in Brazilian history, exploring not only the larger political struggles between government and opposition but also the role played by economic policy, the debt crisis, and community-based movements led by the Church, neighborhood associations, women, and trade unions.

This collection of essays by distinguished Brazilian and American scholars analyzes the decade-long process by which dictatorship gave way to civilian rule.
