Rezensionen
"The Consequences of Brazilian Social Movements in Historical Perspective offers a much needed long-term perspective on the consequences of collective action. Authors provide new insights into complex interactions between Brazilian social movements and authorities by using fascinating historical examples from the post-abolition period to the contemporary struggles of the feminist movement."

Katrin Uba, Associate Professor at Uppsala University

"A breathtaking work that places the question of the consequences of social movements at the center of the debate, addressing an important gap in Brazilian studies. Shedding light on rarely studied cases and adopting a long-term historical perspective, this new generation of researchers brings invaluable contributions to the advancement of knowledge about the history and effects of political confrontation in Brazil."
