Book Details
First Sentence
"A Brazilian returning from fourteen years in exile made this remark about his country's contemporary politics: "[F]oreign political scientist don't understand us because we don't appear to play politics by any established rules....For example, in the strictest terms we shouldn't be gathered at this meeting of the opposition but that's exactly where we are ... and this is a strange land where our liberty hangs by a precarious thread ... and where authoritarianism and democracy seem to exist side by side."
