Beef, bible and bullets: Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro
Beef, bible and bullets explains the rise to power of a maverick right-wing populist in Latin America’s largest economy. The book 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 loBB Hardbackies – has brought to office the Brazil’s most conservative government since the 1970s.
