Reviews

""A most impressive work of empirical scholarship, Dictatorship across Borders reveals Cold War Brazil as a kind of imperial viceroy for the United States. Drawing on new oral histories and freshly declassified Latin American archives, the book's analytic breadth ranges from a Gramscian analysis of the agency of Brazil's bourgeoisie to a Global South history framework to describe socialist Brazilian exiles forming counterhegemonic solidarities across borders.""--Thomas C. Field Jr., author of From Development to Dictatorship: Bolivia and the Alliance for Progress in the Kennedy Era ""An empathetic and humanist history of the challenges and dangers faced by Brazilians who sought refuge abroad as their country descended into authoritarianism, Brazilian involvement in Chile, and what happened to Brazilians in Chile upon the coup that toppled Allende."" -- Patrick Barr-Melej, author of Psychedelic Chile: Youth, Counterculture, and Politics on the Road to Socialism and Dictatorship
