Abstract

Indeed, right-wing Catholic and Evangelical Protestant leaders and organizations in Brazil, he contends, have played a pivotal role in the global networks of ultraconservative political mobilization. In subsequent chapters, Cowan fleshes out analogous tensions between social progressives and reactionaries in the Protestant churches in Brazil. In analyzing the rise and resilience of a religious-political movement, Cowan might have ventured beyond the rhetoric of leaders to explore the lived religion of rank-and-file right-wing Christians in Brazil or the United States.
