He achieved nearly 62 per cent of the vote, to become the first left-wing politician to win his country's presidency. But behind this victory for Lula and his Workers' party (Partido dos Trabalhadores, or PT) is a long and difficult struggle for ascendancy which began in the early 1980s. Written by a Brazilian academic and a British journalist who have long associations with the PT, this book tells the story of the PT's origins and electoral history, outlining the key politicians behind it, as well as their four subsequent tries for power.\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nSue Branford reports from Latin America for the BBC and The Guardian.\n\nBernardo Kucinski is a Brazilian journalist and political scientist, professor at the University of São Paulo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781899365616\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42376377172199,"sku":"CX-R94C-803X","price":19.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/Scan_20220126_13.png?v=1643744362","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/politics-transformed-lula-and-the-workers-party-in-brazil-latin-america-bureau-short-books","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
