"""This volume offers a timely and insightful overview of Lula's return to office and the challenges faced by his new administration. The contributors—including leading experts in the field—provide clear analysis of topics including the political conflicts of the last decade, the persistence of Bolsonarismo, and the politics of social spending, higher education, Black representation, public security, human rights and environmental protections.

Bryan McCann, Georgetown University ""This insightful book is about the electoral defeat of the extreme-right populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, by a democratic coalition that gave Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva his third term in the presidential office. It is also about the legacy of political radicalization and destruction of state capacities the new president will have to face and overcome. Certainly, a topic of greatest interest for readers that care for the future of democratic politics worldwide."" Maria Hermínia Tavares de Almeida, University of São Paulo"
