A critical analysis of Civil Society action

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Gramsci's theory of the Expanded State, the book explores Civil Society as a collection of private entities that convey the intellectual and moral agenda of a specific class. It examines the role of organized civil society during Brazil's re-democratization, investigating the societal project it championed, the contradictions within democratic discourse, and its contributions to overcoming dictatorship. Through this analysis, the book sheds light on the complex dynamics of civil society's influence in shaping Brazil's political landscape during a pivotal historical moment.
