Brazil - from colony to democratic hotspot

What to know

Join us for a topical presentation that will provide you with a historical and socio-analytical framework to understand the upcoming elections in Brazil. Christian Møller Larsen, a teacher at Mariagerfjord Gymnasium and author of the brand new book "The History of Brazil Over 500 Years", guides us through some of the big questions in connection with the election. Why is Brazil's democracy under pressure? What is really at stake? And how do today's conflicts relate to the country's long history of slavery, authoritarian rule, and weak institutions? The presentation combines historical perspective with analysis of the current political situation and discusses Brazil's role in a global context characterized by democratic decline, populism and geopolitical uncertainty. - Date: 1 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Hobro Bibliotek - Address: Adelgade 28, Hobro, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 25
