{"product_id":"post-marxism-and-politics-the-carlos-pessoa-9783639090529","title":"Post-Marxism and Politics - The Case of the Brazilian Workers' Party","description":"Since the 1980s, the Brazilian Workers' Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores - PT) received attention due to its heterogeneous composition of social activists and innovative governing practices. By making a discourse analysis of the PT, Pessoa examines the trajectory of its political dis-course, as the party goes from opposition to holding municipal office. After establishing the party's political discourse based on a hegemonic political strategy and with an objective to radicalize democracy, Pessoa analyses how the PT confronts institutional limits in trying to materialise its original political discourse. The key question that Pessoa tries to answer is whether the party has been able to bring about transformative changes once it reached municipal office, or whether the PT has become just another political party within the Brazilian political regime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carlos Pessoa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639090527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639090529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Carlos Pessoa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454048415999,"sku":"9783639090529","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b59cbfe2-7655-41ed-a08b-3cb3804eb9cb.jpg?v=1777303871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/post-marxism-and-politics-the-carlos-pessoa-9783639090529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
