The Church, Dictatorships, and Democracy in Latin America
No book in any language equals The Church, Dictatorships, and Democracy in Latin America for its comparative breadth. Historians, social scientists, and general readers will cull from it the conditions needed for the church to play a positive and creative role in furthering human rights and democracy. -John A. Coleman, SJ Loyola Marymount University Jeffrey Klaiber's book offers a wonderfully informative history of the Church's role in Latin American struggles to defend human rights and achieve democracy.

State and Opposition in Military Brazil
Based on extensive research into opposition and government documents, including the previously unavailable Manual Básico da Escola de Guerra, Maria Helena Moreira Alves provides a rich description of the long and tortuous attempt by the Brazilian military government to create a workable “national security state” in the face of determined and resilient opposition. She interviewed more than one hundred key figures in government, the military, business, professional associations, the Catholic church, grassroots organizations, and trade unions in order to analyze politically and historically the relationship between civil society and government structures in Brazil during the years 1964–1983. Her study charts the rise and subsequent decline of the military government’s power, concluding with a discussion of the abertura policy instituted under General João Batista Figueiredo.
On Guard Against the Red Menace
This book focuses on the values, beliefs, fears and actions of Brazilian groups that throughout the twentieth century fought the red menace. It is based on broad and diversified documentary sources, including police files, archives of political leaders, traditional press periodicals, newspapers and brochures of right-wing organizations, monuments, caricatures, and photographs. The work is a major contribution to better understanding the political impact of right-wing movements in Brazil and the justifications made for the authoritarian coups of 1937 and 1964. The author explains the intricacy of the political movements, leaderships and organizations that gathered around the fight against com...
Democratic life after the transition: in search of governability in Brazil
Este estudo examina o governo de José Sarney, o primeiro após a ditadura militar, o governo de transição "par excellence". Porém, na fase final da redação, ocorreu a eleição de Lula (2002), um acontecimento político significativo, o que me induziu a acrescentar alguns comentários. Para avaliar as perspectivas de um governo com tal perfil, fiz uma breve incursão sobre os governos anteriores, incluindo os de Fernando Collor de Melo, Itamar Franco e Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Nesta segunda década do século XXI, embora sob formas e aparências um tanto alteradas, com novos protagonistas ou alguns remanescentes de conjunturas anteriores, os problemas de governabilidade e democracia ...
