Between Conformity and Resistance: Essays on Politics, Culture, and the State

The book comprises ten of Chaui’s most important essays, currently being translated from Portuguese into English for the first time, prefaced by an introduction by Maite Conde that situates and contextualizes Chaui’s work for an Anglophone audience. Organized chronologically, the essays chart the intellectual trajectory of Chauí in a way that offers a philosophical inquiry into Brazil’s political, social and cultural history - from the final years of the dictatorship in the 1980s until the present day.
