Together with activists across the country, they built a new democracy in the wake of a military dictatorship. In \u003ci\u003eSustaining Activism\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeffrey W. Rubin and Emma Sokoloff-Rubin tell the behind-the-scenes story of this remarkable movement. As a father-daughter team, they describe the challenges of ethnographic research and the way their collaboration gave them a unique window into a fiery struggle for equality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStarting in 2002, Rubin and Sokoloff-Rubin traveled together to southern Brazil, where they interviewed activists over the course of ten years. Their vivid descriptions of women's lives reveal the hard work of sustaining a social movement in the years after initial victories, when the political way forward was no longer clear and the goal of remaking gender roles proved more difficult than activists had ever imagined. Highlighting the tensions within the movement about how best to effect change, \u003ci\u003eSustaining Activism\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately shows that democracies need social movements in order to improve people's lives and create a more just society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey W.
