A Place in Politics

""A Place in Politics "offers a rare revisionist interpretation that makes its case without simply turning conventional wisdom on its head. While James P. Woodard elegantly eviscerates the enduring belief that Republican politics in Sao Paulo 'was the exclusive preserve of the comfortable few, ' he does so not by discovering some alternative (and fanciful) popular political sphere, but by revealing the layers of participation and dynamic engagement in everyday paulista politics. This book is a remarkable accomplishment and a joy to read."--Barbara Weinstein, author of "For Social Peace in Brazil: Industrialists and the Remaking of the Working Class in Sao Paulo, 1920-1964"

James P. Woodard is Assistant Professor of History at Montclair State University in Montclair, New Jersey.
