Political Leadership and Protest in Brazil: The 2013 Vinegar Revolt in Comparative Perspective
THE DRAMA OF BRAZILIAN POLITICS: FROM 1814-2015 (AMAZON)
Chapter eight, by Guy Burton, looks at the role of popular uprisings in Brazilian history, placing the protest movements of 2013 in a historical perspective that includes the monarchist revolts, peasant mobilization in the Canudos in the Northeast and the Contestado revolt in the south, the Vaccine Revolt of 1904, the Constitutionalist Rebellion of 1932 a, the pro and anti-military intervention demonstrations of 1964, the Diretas Ja! movement to restore democracy, and the movement to impeach Fernando Collor. Burton uses theories of presidential leadership to explain governmental response to these movements.
