Review Quotes: This volume breaks from the confines of well-rehearsed debates on populism, bringing into sharp relief features that tend to take backstage - such as the focus on the antagonistic others (in the plural) buttressing Bolsonarist and Lulist discourses. With its layered analysis of legacies and processes of anti-democracy, it promises to make a timely contribution to debates on both populism and Brazilian politics.--Paulina Tambakaki, University of Westminster
