EDITED VOLUMES
Despite the growing interest in the study of social movements, political parties, activists, and right-wing voters, there has been a noticeable absence of work capable of integrating various approaches and offering a conceptual and empirical synthesis on the emerging of the new ultra-conservative and populist forces in Brazil. Indeed, the lack of dialogue among research conducted from diverse perspectives—such as those of right-wing movement activists or voters—has hindered the attainment of a more comprehensive understanding of the various processes and dynamics associated with the reorganization of Brazilian society. This book aims to address these deficienciespresenting a diverse array of research that examines different aspects of the reconfiguration of the Brazilian right. The chapters encompass a wide range of topics, from the activities of right-wing movements both offline and online to the behaviors of voters aligning with the new right-wing factions.
