Friends in the UK and US: use the code below to get my forthcoming Lula book from @politybooks.bsky.social (July in UK, September in US). I am lining up a few conversations about it already and hoping to do more. Let me know if you’d like to talk! 🤜🤛
I don’t necessarily endorse shopping on the Zon, but if you are so compelled there are only 3 copies of my book left in paperback. Recommended if you’re interested in Lula and the twentieth-century evolution of leftist politics in Latin America’s largest nation!

From working-class unionist under dictatorship to three-term president, Lula da Silva’s journey reflects Brazil’s uneasy balance between procedural democracy and deep inequality. Below essay by Andre Pagliarini @apagliar.bsky.social tracing the rise of Lula's pragmatic leftism.
Lula’s Unfinished Democracy - Dissent Magazine
The Brazilian president once argued that democracy will founder where inequality reigns. Today, he sees fighting inequality as democracy’s animating mission.
