The Giant Stumbles: Brazil

Cost: Free
With Dr. Christopher Gaffney, academic geographer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A common meme to describe the protests that erupted in Brazil in 2013 was “The Giant has Awakened.” This “awakening” of Brazil´s middle and lower classes promised to hold government officials accountable for corruption and poor management of public resources. Yet less than two years later, Brazil has re-elected the incumbent president.
