Description: "Presents the most complete study to date of mass political culture in Brazil. Using  exhaustive review of large-N surveys conducted between 1989-93, explores democratic legitimation compared with other post-authoritarian regimes. Concludes that transition generated mass support for democracy, but the basis for long-term legitimation is precarious due to crises of elites and institution building. Offers a wealth of data and insight. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
